3.5 media reader

[amazon3d]

Are there any 3.5in reader bays that are not total crap? With 1 or 2 usb ports and the media reader. All the ones I have found either look like crap or are crap. So any suggestions would be great : )

Ok, bear with me here, but BestBuy carries some by Dynex that are decent. No USB port, but it works well in my HTPC

Aluminum bezel, it looks and works great. No USB ports on it though.

No USB ports on it though.

It certainly appears to have one external post.

* Allows One USB Port support external USB device

I heard bad things about the lian li card reader, I'd stay away from it..

Oops sorry, I must have a older model mine doesn't have a front panel USB port. I just dug up the link and didn't read it.

Well I wanted to find a beige one for my new case that I am going to mod. But one that doesn't look/act like crap as most of the ones I have come across do. <$20 would be nice too, but we can't have everything lol.

I use a "crap" card reader and its held up for a couple years so far. I don't really use it much though.

Is there any card reader that lets you shut off certain slots so you don't have 4 drives showing up in explorer? I find that annoying.
