Noob Case Question

[JonnyStarks]

So I just got the case for my very first build (woot!) and wasn't too fazed(sp?) at first by the lack of an instruction manual.
There were obvious connectors of the HDD LED, and some other power connectors that were clearly labelled (whew).
However, there were two connectors that didn't have an obvious purpose. They didn't have the look of the other connectors: they looked like stereo jacks. These were on the inside of the case, so I can't imagine plugging them into the sound card on the motherboard? There was a PC speaker on the bottom of the case, but they didn't seem to be connected to that.

So, without the manual I turn to the next best thing: the infinite wisdom of the Anantech Forum.

Many thanks from a confused,
Jonny Starks

can u give some pics of the two connectors? or a link to a site that has something looking like it?

usually in a case there is the HDD LED, power, reset, usb connectors and firewire connectors

does your case have front-mounted sound ports? If so, they probably just transfer the ports to the front, and you plug those into the sound ports on your sound card. If not, then I have no idea without pics.

You're absolutely right. There are two front-mounted sound ports and two speaker jacks in the case.
My next question would then be: Since the cables are inside of the case, how would I connect them to the motherboard when I get it?

PS: Hopefully pics coming soon, have no place to host them.

Well, if it's anything like my case, you would have to run the wires out of a PCI slot, and then up into the normal speaker jacks on the rear of the computer. It's a hassle, and I can only hope I'm describing it accurately, but it's worth it if you're swapping speakers and headphones a lot.
