I got a Logisys acrylic case today. It was my second because the first one was cracked so I RMA'd to Newegg. The new one has a screw bracket busted off but I guess I can live with it. If not, Ill end up spending the price of a new case on just shipping the things back. I don't think I'll ever buy another acrylic case.
Anyway, the problem is that the front panel audio has male 1/8" jacks instead of the normal pin type connector. I have never seen any type of internal 1/8" plugs on any mobo I have ever worked with. How do I hook the front audio to the motherboard when all I have are these male 1/8" plugs?
One of the PCI slot covers on the back of the case has a small hole in it. Do they expect you to run the jacks out this hole and plug it into the sound card in the back of the computer? I hope not that would sure look crappy. They are long enough to do this but there is no way I would do that. What were they thinking doing that on a CLEAR case? What a bunch of retards. If I was just going to string a wire through the case then why wouldnt I just run the mic and headphones to the back of the comptuer in the first place?
Is there some kind of adapter that I can plug the 1/8" jacks into that will convert it to a female pin connector that will connect to the motherboard? If not I guess Ill just not use front audio and plug the mic and headphone into the back.
Heres a picture of the cable so you can get a better idea of what I mean in case I really didnt make sense.

Update: I found this which is what I guess you would need to convert it but I would need one that is female and not male.
