    Default All in one card reader

    Does anyone know of a company that makes an all in one card reader that I can install in a standard front panel slot (either floppy drive slot or other). There is quite a few cameras/phones in the house and I refuse to install 500 different drivers and software to transfer files, but I want a permanent fixture not a USB hub (surprised how quickly you fill USB ports up).
    Had a look through MSY's catalogue (they are close to me) but can't find anything.

    Could'nt you just have a few extra USB hubs, like, could you say,

    connect one of those hubs into the PC, then connect another one into the hub?

    Yeah just add more USB's. some run better than others. My printer has a bunch of different card readers so i don't have to plug anything else in. Doesn't help you though i guess.

    I don't want to run a USB hub, I find the performance is deminished. Would rather run an internal drive like Banks posted.

    you can definitely get pci usb expansion cards.
    USB 2.0 PCI Card 5 Port (NEC Chip) [USB-UP205] - $27.50 : PC Case Gear, Quality case accessories and components
    there's one, $29 for 5 usb 2.0 points

    this place is good and quick delivery. prices are ok, but not msy-cheap, anyway here are their 3.5" bay multi card readers.
    PC Case Gear: Card Readers

    just know that sd card/ card readers aren't 100% compatible with sdhc readers/cards (sdhc cards = sd high capacity, generally >2gb)

    Problem solved it! they're good little things, dont look out of place and actually come on handy. That one is good cus it gives you another usb port and can read most cards. Saves you having to connect card readers etc, easy access
