I bought a new case for my cheap rig. I completely for got about not having LED connectors on my motherboard. Is there any way around this? Any adapters? or do I just have to face the facts and buy a new motherboard?

ASUS > HP "Benicia" motherboard

Ohhhh, those case LED's. Thought you mean like lighting for the case, not the case lights. lol.

Every motherboard has a spot for them. Name brand boards are tricky sometimes though like if it came from a Dell, or HP computer, they use their own interface and not a standard one. The pins are still there though somewhere, just a matter how much you want to play around and test, etc. With a multimeter, I could find the right pins in 2 mins.

Thanks! Great tip to use a multi-meter. Tested the Panel pins and all the voltages match what I needed for the case.
