I'm halfway through a custom case mod where I'll be using a miniITX board. However, the board comes with 0 header cables and I was wondering if anyone knew where I might be able to purchase just the header cables I need. I know that I could cannibalize an old case but that just seems wasteful... plus I'd have to purchase an old case just to take out a few wires and then toss it.
Can anyone suggest and online (or physical) retailer who might be able to supply the header cables I'll need?
I'd like a power (maybe reset) and a HDD LED. Thats about it but for the life of me, I can't find the HDD LED. I've found power buttons, its the other headers that I can't seem to locate. At least not several in one location.
Thanks rockbyter. That kit would work perfectly... if the cables were longer. I'm not even sure I could desolder/resolder longer wires on, with the leads being as short as they are.
Check the local computer shops(small shops), they tend to have stuff they are just tossing anyway(old dead machines and such). I get little things that way.

That's the answer. There are so many junk computers out there it should be extremely easy to find a junk case. You should be able to get it for free or maybe $5-$10.
