Where do I plug in the case LED's?

And for the front case HD audio, i know where the hd audio plugs into the mobo. But theres a t on of other cords coming out of the hd audio plug and i have no idea where they go, they seem color coded.

And some of my parts have these 4 pin molex connectors, but then they have another 4 pin molex coming out. This is just to give power to anything else that needs it and is in the region right?

You need to check the motherboard manual for this information. Generally speaking, the board will have a cluster of pins in one spot, to which you will connect the following:
a) hard disk LED (two adjacent pins)
b) power LED (two adjacent pins)
c) power button (two pins, sometimes but not usually spaced one pin apart)
d) reset button (two adjacent pins)

You probably also have a header for two front USB ports. These will connect to an eight-pin cluster on the motherboard. You may also have headers for front audio ports. These all plug into their own pin cluster, but you will have to check your motherboard manual for further details.
 
Like "hurts" said, check with the mobo manual for where to plug everything in... but if you don't have it/can't find it, then usualy the plugs are labled on the motherboard next to the pins in near microscopic print.

If you plug one in backwards it doesnt really matter much... it just wont work. To remedy the situation just turn it around!
