Hi!

Cool, but how and what do you attach it to? Will this device have a case?

  Are you sure? yes | no

Oh my, thank for that question because it is not really obvious 😅

You plug in the usb 2.0 header into your mainboard. That way it gets power.

The pins are for front panel connectors. One side for the mainboard and the other for the case.

If you do not have an internal USB 2.0 header or your motherboard does not support always usb power on you can also use usb-c for power with a cable.

There will be no case.

But I think I will create one for 3D printing when there is demand.

  Are you sure? yes | no
