Hi, I'm about to finish my very first build and I'm gracious for any help I can get here. I have 2 questions regarding my Thermaltake Element S case.

1.) Each of the front panel header cables has a colored wire and a white wire. The case's manual does not say which wire is the ground or which one is positive or negative. I'm thinking because there's a white wire on each cable (and the other wire varies in color for each) that it is the ground. If this is the case, is the ground positive or negative (the motherboard uses + and - s in its guide)

2.) On that same note, there is both a 3 pin PWR_LED header separate from the F pannel in addition to a "Message/Power/Sleep LED" header. The case comes with both cabels-- should I plug in both or just one? In their descriptions it seems they do the same thing?

thanks again--
-Adam

1: seems that you are correct..although im not much when it comes to case cables(i have NIGHTMARES setting those up) lol but i agree with you...and when in doubt..trial and error

2:Im not sure...if it were me id plug them where the manual says...if ne thing goes wrong RMA... but i HIGHLY doubt consequences will be that severe..not even mildly severe
