Huh? My computer had important (usb) ports on the front top of the case as early as 2005. Do they not make PC towers like that anymore?

- jolmg 7y agoThey do, but some people may want more USB ports, some an ethernet port, some a DisplayPort display port[1]. A keyboard and mouse is something you'd typically connect to the back, but I can see some people liking the ability to conveniently reconnect them to a laptop. Of course, you can buy a USB hub, you can buy a USB ethernet NIC (though it still probably won't go as fast as the back one), but you can also just flip the box.
