Im looking for something like this, anyone have one I could obtain for a can of beer ? :)

Motherboard has USB 2.0 but case has 3.0.

Also looking for a 5.25" bay to 3.5" adaptor (allow 3.5" device in 5.25" bay)

You'll have to provide a bit more detail as to what it is you're after, presumably some physical connector that's different? USB 3 and USB 2 are signalling protocols, not connectors.

Yeah, this. I'm reading what you're asking for as a step-down converter or similar & cannot think why that would be. I'm sure there is an answer to that somewhere.

If you want to run USB 3 from your board, a spare PCIE slot is required, an add-in USB 3 card is inexpensive & usually allows routing to the front ports as well as providing new ports from the rear.

See link in OP (which I initially forgot to add)

Just want to be able to use the front USB as 2.0 - did have one of the cables but must have gone with one of my other builds.
