I have sent a email to the case company (of my case), if you know the answers to them can you please tell me, thank you for you time, this is it:

I have the Phanteks - Eclipse P300 Tempered Glass (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case, and I have some questions about building in it/the case itself:

1. We do not seem to have all the cables that come with your case, in the motherboard i'm using's manual (I have sent the manual with this email) (page 16) it says that we need the following front Panel Headers, Power LED, Power switch, Speaker, Hard Drive Activity LED, Reset Switch, Chassis Intrusion header, and Power LED. On other pages it says more front panel headers we need. With the case we only got Hd Audio, Power Switch, A thing that says "Connect this only with Phanteks Multi-Colored Led Strips only", H.D.D LED (+, -), A un-named one with "MQT 2510", Another un-named one with a strap that says "1/2 Input 416", and another that we knew were to put in. As is shown here there is not the necessary front panel headers, so either they aren't their or please show me where they are.

2. Power SW doesn't have a + and - (H.D.D LED is the only one with a + and - even though there are many things that should have a + and -)

Sorry if I came off accusatory/needy, this is my first time building a pc so I might have missed something obvious.
 
Solution
The front panel header is specific to the motherboard, but the mother maker has no idea what case you are going to pair with hence you don't get a nice pre-made cable to plug&play, you must, using your own knowledge to match what is available to the case and mate it to the Mobo, one pair of cable at a time.

All LED obviously want +/- because it'a a polarized signal and must be plugged in one-way.

The Power SW (not the power LED) mates to the case's momentary switch, and it goes to PowerSW/Ground(-). This connection is un-polarized.

There may also be a SLEEP connection, and that one too is SLEEP/GROUND(-).

Same with RESET/Ground(-).

Good luck.
