I recently purchased a thermal take v4 black edition computer case, and I planned to use my old mother board, but I couldn't find where to put the front panel connectors on my Acer EG43M(Motherboard).

Next to your nest of SATA connectors and on the very edge of the board you should see a block of PINS with a few colors on the base of the pins - that's where you'll connect your case pins for POWER, RESET, HD Light, and POWER LIGHT. For more detail check out your motherboard's PINOUT for these pins on your manual.

On my mother board I only see a black base for my pins sadly. Here's a picture of my mother board I'm very new at this so :/ http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/specs-acer-eg43m/

Hi Shadow - look at the "pinout" of the connectors - you don't need the colors so you're still ready to proceed using the MANUAL I linked above. The 'pinout' is what pin is what. Your case has a bunch of wires in a group ending with the labels 'HD LED', 'PW SW', PW LED' etc - find the corresponding pins on that group of pins and connect them. The colored wire is the positive, the black is the negative. On the pinout you'll see + and - for positive and negative, connect them accordingly. Note the RESET and PW SW (PoWer SWitch) don't care about +/- they're just a loop - however your LED lights do need the + and - hooked up correctly to work
