I bought this Ultra Microfly case for my XFX 630i 7100 motherboard that came with a 400w power supply. I spent a few minutes and got everything plugged in until I got to my last step: plugging in the ATX 12v power input connectors. My power supply has a 20-pin connector while the motherboard has a 24-pin connector. Can I get a cable to connect the two? The other power input connector has a similar issue, I have a 4-pin on the PSU and the motherboard has a 8-pin, can I use a cable to connect the two?

Well I decided to go ahead and try plugging the 20-pin connector into the 24-pin input and that worked along with plugging the 4-pin connector into the 8-pin input and everything works great now. Is there any reason that this could mess anything p in the future? It seems to run just fine now and I don't have any video card or anything (integrated video).

Yes, it will run - the extra four pins are optional, but recommended for stability, especially with lots of RAM or overclocks.

You HAVE the extra four pins for the 24-pin connector on that power supply. Find them and plug them in to.
