Punch it in another direction?

no but serioulsy you can try to replace the broken ports with new ones, that will probably make you rage even more or get a cardreader with usb ports which to me sounds easier and probably cheraper since they cost about as much as hiring someone for minimum wage for an hour.

Faulty USB connectors can make a computer crash/turn off. It overloads the motherboard with voltage so it shuts off to protect itself.

The USB 3 cable on the HAF X is the one where you need to plug into the I/O shield on the back of your computer.

I don't think the HAF X has the cable to plug into motherboards like on the new P67 motherboards.

There are additional cables that come with the HafX that replace the blue ones and go to a usb2 header on the motherboard for people without usb3 mobos. It's actually pretty simple to swap and well thought out. I expect CM to release cables for internal usb3 headers soon.

the 1st port is broke...but the 2nd one works is it worth to buy a whole new card for one usb that doesnt work?
Get a new PCB card from Cooler Master then keep it until you break the 2nd USB 2.0.
