Not only are they totally out of sight if your case is sitting on the floor when you lift up that stylish cover on the front, but the ports are also at a strange angle, making it very hard to plug anything in without getting down on the floor and looking up under the panel.  Once you finally manage to get something plugged in, wires have to come up and around the front of the panel.  Not only that, you almost have to unplug anything that&#8217;s plugged into the front of the computer every time you are done because there&#8217;s no way to close the cover with anything plugged in and it&#8217;s very awkward sticking out.  The same thing goes for the CD case.  Every time you need to insert or remove a CD you have to open a door on the front of the case.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I don&#8217;t actually own a Dell desktop (I do have a Dell laptop however) but I&#8217;m always baffled by this when I have to use one.   Maybe someone who owns one could clarify this design decision for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve often wondered if any of Dell&#8217;s computer case designers have actually used the USB ports on the front of the computers they designed.
