Ok... maybe it's my fault for not checking the length but the charger for my ego style batteries is coming up a little short Story of my life... never quite enough length (Oh i just noticed the converter for my cathodes has come loose! haha) Nice looking rig man. looks like you spent a bit of time building it up. You could use one of these to extend the usb charger. www.fasttech.com/products/1190000

I have a full tower, but being a long time computer geek (although I tend to go with bottom to mid range kit since I hate spending a fortune for just a few percent difference in performance). I made sure the case had front USB ports at the bottom rather than anywhere else. Also I have many USB devices so have, as others have said, a mains powered USB hub, which I used to use for a passthrough (full 5V 3A, hard to find but worth it) until I started with power regulated mods. Oh and I have several 3m USB extension cables and even a 5m one (runs to a webcam at my work area so I can film stuff).

Unfortunately, i needed the bottom for a fan intake! not many cases that allow water cooling with USB ports at the bottom! My machine is overclocked to 4.7 Ghz 24/7 and the graphics card is overclocked to 1.3 Ghz with a 400mhz overclock on the graphics memory. It will do 5Ghz, but the heat the machine chucks out then is ridiculous so i don't do it very often haha.

I used to know an ex RAF computer technician who had a liquid nitrogen cooling system on his machine - that's overclocking.
I'm fine using my machine on stock setting with no overclocking. The games I enjoy play at 1920x1080 at decent fps, and high settings, which is all I need. It will play most games just with not all the bells and whistles but then the total cost of the base unit is only about £350-400 (built it myself with much searching for best price components).

I only use big battery devices so don't use any usb charging any more, The nitecore i4 with an Xtar WP2 as backup cover all my charging needs.
