Someone I know was building a PC for his Grandmother. He is being shipped off for the Marines before he had a chance to finish assembling it. He then asks if I would finish it for him and out of the kindness of my heart I agreed to. I build and repair PCs? as a hobby. Little to my knowledge did I know that this case has front Audio/USB ports. I managed to figure out how to hook up the Audio but I'm having trouble with the USB ports. Here is the Case and here is the Motherboard (MB). I can't find the manual to the case, I do however, have the manual for the MB. Could someone please assist in getting this hooked up that possibly has worked with this type of case or MB before? The case has several single connectors to hook to the MB that bundle together in a rectangle shape. I could do trial and error but that could possible mean doing damage to the MB or to the USB device, I DON'T WANT THAT! Does anyone know of a web site that I can go to that will help in this issue? I've been looking myself but no luck. Remember that these parts have been paid for by someone else so swapping out parts isn't an option. I have Windows up and running on it so if I can't get these hooked up it isn't a problem but I'd rather have them running just in case they need them.

Look in your motherboard manual. It should describe what each pin is on that USB header. Then match that up with what the wires from the case are marked. It should go something like 5V, Data -, Data +, Ground.

it shows various different types of USB pin assignments. If the plugs on the case are labelled, you should be able to figure out which way they go from this. Most of the ones I have dealt with were of the 2 x 4 variety were actually pretty sraight forward once I started actually plugging the pins in.

Awesome that looks exactly what I've been looking for. I'll try it at home when I get off. Keep you posted.
