OK, this works ideally but.... I simply cannot get the damn thing to fit in my internal 3.5'' slot.
After some bending of the internal bay and playing about with pliers I managed to get the USB bay installed but it isn't flush with the front of my PC.
I did originally think about returning the item but it does the job albeit looking a tad silly as its set back from the front of my PC.
My advice? - Play it safe and buy a cool looking external USB bay.

Ideally you need an internal USB Socket, because the this bay has a connecting cable with a normal USB plug on it. No need for a power supply as it gets power from the internal USB socket. I decided to update an ageing PC by installing a USB 2.0 PCI card and a front loading hub. This worked a treat. The PCI card has five USB sockets, four external, one internal. Removed the blanking plate from a spare 3.5 slot and the bay slid into place. It is a close fit, and to ease matters I did bend slightly inwards the internal case metal at either side with a pair of pliers. Not much of a problem really. Result, a neat fit which is flush with the other 3.5 bay (and in fact the 5.25 bays as well). The operating system detects the hub and installs the drivers. The bay has two LED's one red, which is the power, and the other green which lights when the OS detects the USB's.
Listmania!
