what are the 3 oddly shaped ports on the front?

They are for plugs in other countries that use that configuration for power.

The odd-shaped holes are international electric-plug holes. It will accept a US-style 110/120 plug in those holes or on the side (but without a ground-plug on the side). A little goofy looking, yes, but it works great. I have had mine for over a year. The reason they look like that is probably so they can use the same front plate for both the US and international versions (saves money and time).

No, look at the photos on the page and it shows the rear connection ports...

there should be a dock on the top and a input for a regular 3mm jack on the front

3. two front, 1 rear of original design (white or black). 4. two front, two rear of Slim.Using rear ports loses at least 15" of distance from haveing to wrap around the rear of the xbox and up a side.

There are 2 usb ports in the front, but the front lid hides them. What I did was buy a usb hub with an usb extension cord, plugged it in the back of the HTPC and put it by my tv. I just purchased the Silverstone Tek GD05B, which I am much happier with. The Grandia has HD hot swappable bays that block any air flow. If you don't need to swap HD's, then the Silverstone Tek is a better product. It also has 2 exposed usb 3.0 ports on the front.

On the left side, we have the fan opening, VGA port, USB 3.0 port, HDMI port, and 2 more HDMI ports in that order from the screen going towards the user. On the right side, we have power, ethernet, DVD, USB 2.0 and the earphone jack in that order. No ports at the back and there is a flash media card reader in the front.

The 5 port has key holes on the back. The 8 port has nothing to mount it anywhere. I had to fabricate brackets to hold it to a wall.

The end that plugs into the device is rounded on both sides. No square port but it does fit and work fine

there are four on the front panel, for sure. I think there are four more on the back, but I can't be certain because there is something plugged into one spot which I think is a USB port, but I'm afraid to unplug it while the computer is on, and I don't have the time right now to go through the processes.

I'm not sure but looking online at a picture of it the power & HDMI ports seem to be in the correct position

No, there's 3 ports, two of them are 2.0 and the one is 3.0, I've had this case for a little over two years and I love it, my pc is always cool and maybe the only flaw if you want to look at it that way is to get to the front filters of the fans you do need to unscrew a lot of bolts in the front part, I mean is really easy but a little tedious if you know what I mean. Just my two cents.

I'm not sure what that port is , however it has several different ports on the back, modem,printer, phone , mouse port is on the side. Good luck.

I received the one with the opposite facing side ports. I was also confused by the pictures, and wanted them to both be on the same side. I am returning it.

There are 7x USB 2.0 ports, and 2 USB 3.0 ports. 4x are located on the back, and 3x are located on the front. The USB 3.0 slots are on the back.

Harry is correct. There isn't one. 4 USB ports on the front, 2 on each side, 2 "out" ports and one "in" port on the back. AC adapter plugs in the back as well. Power LED on top.
