Computer help

I'm building a computer from various parts I gathered. I bought a case from Tiger Direct and I am not sure what cables go from the case to the mother board.

If someone who knows how to do this cam PM me, I will give the motherboard info. I'm a little too hungover to post more info a the moment, but help is appreciated.

Take the computer you post on this site on and take the case cover off. Peek inside and see what goes where. Should be straight forward after that

I'll get more info on the motherboard in a sec. I'm at work right now and will be home later tongiht.

Basically yeah.

The new box has double the wires than the old case since it has a light up fan and all that fancy crap.

The fan if the plugs are the same as I'm thinking plug in with the plugs from the power supply and have nothing to do with the motherboard itself man.

That motherboard manual definately would've been a good thing to have.

I got it basically working.

I need to figure how to load on XP and figure out why the pc keeps on saying floppy disk failure.

Feel free to help.
