Ok, my Antec Sonata just got here and I'm trying to figure where the power LED goes. The owners manual to my Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 says it should take only 2 thingies up on the mother board but the power led wire takes up three and only has two wires going into it, and if I put it in the the power switch wire won't fit. Will someone please help me, thanks in advanced.

Some options:

1) cut the case's Power LED connector in half down that vacant center hole, and plug the two wires onto the two pins that way.

2) if there is a vacant pin next to the two Power LED pins, then lift the plastic "keeper" latch on one of the two contacts, withdraw it from the end hole, and put it in the middle hole so it's adjacent to the other wire. If the LED won't light up, flip the plug or swap the wires.

I usually just cut the 3pin connector in half ;)

mobos that use the 2pin annoy me... MOST use the 3!
