(!) >Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2002 15:21:55 -0500 ------------------ We have sound card extension cables plugged into the back of our computers that I purchased at http://shop.store.yahoo.com/4freeheadset/lhtransof.html. While I do like the ones that mount in a drive bay, I didn't want to endure the hassle that going through our IT department would entail. This was quick and easy and I used the P-Touch labeling machine to indicate to which computer the cables belong.

We did not do this so need to figure out where to purchase (or how to create) extension boxes for headset plug-in in the front of the computer so that students are not crawling around the back to plug in. Our IT department has not found a dealer for this type of thing....but might put something together that would work.....Does anyone out there have any experience with creating or locating such a device? Thanks for your suggestions.... ==== If the front of the computer is accessable, you could look into something called a "drive bay transfer panel". All sorts are available, with or without USB, Firewire.... The idea is simple. A cable plugs into your sound card (and whatever else) and passes through a slot cover with a hole in it. The cable runs into a plate that fits in a drive bay. The plate supports the connector. They are simple to install and I wouldn't be surprised if you could get a good price on a bulk order.
