My computer's tower has no front USB ports, so what I do is run a "USB
extension cord" from its rear to the front of my desk where I have it
attached. Quick, easy, and very inexpensive. And (except for keyboard
and mouse, which are permanently connected) I never need more than one
USB port at a time.



If I had looked instead of trusting my memory, I wouldn't have said
that. My tower *does* have front USB ports. The reason I use an
extension cord is that it's mounted higher on my desk, and is much
easier to reach than the low ports on the tower.
