I bought a dell xps 8700 and i moved all the parts into a xion tower and i realized that the F_panel pins slot on the mother board had no diagram or manual or anything that shows what goes where, so i can't turn it on, because i can't find where to put any of the individual front panel cables! i am dead inside without my computer someone save me :(

I am moving the guts of my Dell 8700 XPS into a new computer case, Fractal Design Define R5 (White). I have yet to figure out the front panel, wiring sequence. But i will figure it out and post what i find in here & other forum post referring to the Dell 8700 XPS. I will probably just use the old power switch, led's wiring plug in, and cut the wires then wire in the new led's, power switch, etc. with the factory plug. I am unsure if this will work but it makes sense that it should. We will just have to wait and see, I will record videos and post them to VID.ME ( https://vid.me/SomethingNewNow ) wish me LUCK!
