Antec Solo front port replacement

[hldr]

I recently upgraded my nearly 4 year old C2D to the machine in my sig below. I reused the antec solo, but would like usb 3 in the front case I/O panel. It has 2 usb2 a firewire and 2 audio ports.

Does anyone make a replacement hub that would fit that would ideally give me usb3, eSATA, and audio?

If i plug the usb 2 into my motherboard usb3 headers will it work as usb 3? or is there a difference in usb 3 connections?

I have looked at antec website and newegg and havent found anything.

TIA

The USB 2 panel will not work in the usb 3 header.
As far as I know, there is not a replacement cluster for the antec. Most manufacturers don't do this yet (Lian Li does have some for their cases). IMO, if you have a free bay, the best option would be to install a usb 3 port in a bay.
Something like this: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/11338/cpa-430/Lian_Li_525_Multi-Media_IO_Port_Dual_e-SATA_Quad_USB_-_Black_-_BZ-U07B.html but Lian Li like's theirs for $50!
