CoolerMaster Elite 330 front bezel?

[VirtualLarry]

I bought a couple of Cooler Master Elite 330 cases some years back, and I like them, except for one little nagging thing - the FP_AUDIO pins all came as seperate wires that I had to connect, painstakingly, to the motherboard. I have two identical rigs with these cases.

From talking to a friend that built with this case more recently, he says that his case came with a pre-assembled plug-in module, one for AC97 and one for HD AUDIO, that plug into the FP_AUDIO jack on the mobo. No seperate wires.

I was wondering, if it would be possible to contact CoolerMaster and obtain a newer front bezel, with the newer wiring on it?

Another option would be to look for a small device from ASUS - I think they call it "EZ Plug" or something like that, and they used to send it with some of their motherboards around the P965 era. Essentially, it's a block with pins going both ways; you attach the FP Audio cables to the block in the correct layout, and then plug the block into the motherboard's FP audio connector.

It's not a perfect solution, but at least it keeps you from redoing the FP audio cable every time you swap out the motherboard.
