Need help..

If anyone has this case:

Paired with a MSI K8N Neo2 PLAT mobo, can you help me with connecting the front ports? The only reason I can't connect them is because they are labeled differently on the case which is confusing me where I should put them. I do not have the power LED working, and I don't have the front audio ports working. I am confused as to where I should be plugging them into. I will get back to you with the names of the wires a little later.

Read the motherboard manual, it will provide you with info on where to plug it in..
Your motherboard may not have the correct plugs for the connections, in which case you will have to tuck those cables neatly away.

I did the same with my Sidewinder, both audio and firewire are tucked on the otherside of the hard drive rack.

It's a nice case, too, looks good with alot of lights.

Another way you can find out, if the cables are not labelled on the black connectors (usually white lettering on the connectors), Is to go around to a friends house who has a PC, And since most of the wires are Universally colour coded, check what coloured wire corresponds to which cable.

I have 3 computers, all with different cases, But the colours of the wires are all the same for the same connections.
It should give a hint in the motherboard manual though.
I have front USB 2.0 ports on my Lian Li, but the wires were labelled differently to the connectors specified in the manual, By looking at a earlier motherboard manual from a different PC, I was able to tell, what wires went where, since the wires were colour coded, But had different markings or were wrongly labelled.
So check someone elses wires, to get a better idea of how to fix the problem.

That thing looks awesome but if you have a higher-end system that requires a considerable amount of power I'd consider buying a Thermaltake or Antec power supply and not using the one that comes with the case.

Especially since the one that comes with the case only has 4 (count 'em) molex connecters.
