Expert Help Needed - Case Wiring

Hello ive just purchased a casecom 868 and im trying to set it up with my pc, ive taken out everything from my pc and screwed it all in, its all correct and plugged in correctly but i still need to plug in a few more leads from the front panels.
note: my motherboard is a asrock k7s8xe.

The first wire is one wire with three smalller ones coming off it, these wires are;
L - blue
R - red
G - black
MIC - orange

i believe these are for the front audio connections, where do i plug them and what order?

the next set of wires is again one wire with three smaller ones coming off it, these are;

port+ - black
port- - yellow
g - green
vcc - vcc

I dont know what these are but i guess to one of the frontal usb ports on the case, where do i plug them in and in what order...


the THIRD set of wires is AGAIN a smaller wire split into three others.. these are:

the next set of wires is again one wire with three smaller ones coming off it, these are;

port+ - black
port- - yellow
g - green
vcc - vcc

again these are exactly the same as the above and i believe these are for the other frontal usb, where to put these and what order?

THE FINAL SET OF WIRES are three single wires;

reset switch
power switch
hdd light..

where to plug these?

PLEASE answer im only 16 and thought id be able to do this, im usually rather good at pc's turned out this part failed me... id really like it even if you could only help me with one of the wires or all of them..

thank you very much and i look forward to your reply..

all of these cables go to various points on you motherboard, what you need to do is look in your motherboard manual and look for the section that deals with you front panel connections, it should have them all in there, it will also tell you exactly how to connection each one
 
nope, sorry. it doesn't take long to download adobe reader, ive never seen manuals in any other format come to think of it

yeah ive got adobe acrobat, on the pc im tryna fix - not on this one that boots slackware linux :)

nvm ill use wine to emulate it, but ive seen manuals in standard html format or sometimes php just using the php include, anyway if this works ill post some details in an hour or so, thank you all...
 
ok quick reply all working except my frontal audio connections, i know how to connect them but the pins are too far away and the wires too short :( what now..
 
you could just leave them, i never bother with them personally but thats just the way i am.

you could try to splice them but that would ruin the cables.
 
hmm, i think ill leave them, now basically ive sorted it, however i bought a case with a side window for a reason, and now my pc is just FULL of cables, i pulled off the bundles, how to tidy it up :D
 
i suggest buying a bag of cable ties and go through all your cables and running them together, and where possible, tucking them out of the way.
its a bit of an art and it can be very time consuming
 
Lol I have the same problem, my new build case is full. I just tucked everything away and taped cables to the side of the case. But I'm going to buy some sleeving for a more permanent solution.
