As for the "ATX_12V" I was questioning about, it's on the top of the motherboard. I don't know what to plug into it.

Have you read your manual for your motherboard at all? It's all in there!

FDD is for your floppy drive, if you are using one.

You have (2) square 4 pin plugs, 1 of them goes into the 12v atx plug like it shows in the picture I put up, did you look at it? Either one will work, and it only goes in one way. So do not try to force it. The other plug is for motherboards that require them, so just tie it up out of the way since it will not get used.

The spidif and cd plugs you are talking about do not need to be used. Like the other poster said, it will do everything through the ide cable to the cd/dvd player.

And it is always a good idea to connect the fans to the motherboard, they will spin the fans faster or slower depending on what temps you get inside the case. If you plug them in the way you said you did, they will always spin fast, and be louder than they need to be.

Thanks everyone for the help!!!

Alright, so I got everything plugged in and hooked up and I've come to a crossroads once again.

None of my USB ports seem to be working. My case only comes with one "USB" cable, to which I plugged into the "F_USB1" slot on the motherboard.

The motherboard, as seenon the previous page has "F_USB1", "F_USB2" and "F_USB3" slots.

However, I have two USB ports on the front and four on the back... Anyone know what is wrong or how to fix this?

When I turn on the PC it says to insert my OS CD and press enter, but I can't because the wireless keyboard and mouse I bought can't connect to the USB.
