Anyone know where I can purchase a mount for the front panel where I can remove SD card from generic mounted sintech SD to IDE adapter. Having to open the side panel is getting a bit annoying when transferring files from main pc to SD card.

Do you have access to a 3d printer?

If so, Thingiverse has several you can print. This is what I do. 😀
