Hi! so I have a dell studio xps 9100 and it did not have the 3.0 usb in the front (I know it was an option long ago but want to install one). I was wondering if anyone knows what piece I would need to buy to install it. Ive watched many videos and they link me to some that look like they could fit but I want to make sure I order the right one so I don't have to go through this again. The handbook shows how to do it but not a recommended part to use. If anyone knows which one to buy, please let me know! Thank you!

Dell Studio XPS 9100 Desktop PC (support site)

Number 4 in the front view image is where an optional USB 3.0 port panel would be installed.
The front and rear and top of the case have a total of 8 USB 2.0 ports, but no USB 3.0 ports.

The motherboard has a PCI Express x1 slot where you install a USB 3.0 add-on card.
THIS is one PCI Express x1 model that has 4 USB 3.0 ports and may work well for you.
