Ok so i managed to come across a Packard Bell Ipower X2.0 case for a very cheap price. This is normally a prebuilt system. I decided to make a new build out of it. The top of the case features a series of connectors (USB x 4, eSATA, Headphone, Mic, SD card etc. This seems to connect to the motherboards USB slots (sorry dont know their technical name) The motherboard is an Asus P7P55D. I cant seem to get these last components working at all, the build runs fine. The annoying thing is that these connectors are also linked to a system of red LEDs that really makes the case look good. Any ideas on how to get these connectors and LEDs working?

You will need a case manual (service manual in this case) along with your motherboard manual to get the pins correct.

Well sometimes they have markings on the connectors that you can relate to the motherboard. Maybe this will help http://www.pcguide.com/proc/config/mbcase-c.html
