Hi,

I've noticed that there are two types of ATX case connectors that connect to mobos. One looks like this here on the MSI K7T turbo lite and many other ATX boards, like the GA-7DX. It's on the bottom right corner, and looks kinda like this:

OOOOOOOO
OOOOOOXO

On the other hand, boards like this Epox 8KHA+ and the Abit KT7A have another kind of ATX case to board connector that can be seen in the bottom right corner of the 8KHA+ pic. There are two rows of connections, and cases that are compatible with the board have many separate wires for various connections, such as power, HDD LED, reset, etc.

I'm wondering if these two types of ATX case/board connectors are compatible. Let's say my ATX case's connection fits into the K7T turbo lite, will this one rectangular connector work for the 8KHA+?
