I just bought a new power source the cosair cx600 and a new tower, the phantom and I'm having trouble hooking all of it up together. There's only one cord I'm having trouble with really the 4 pin floppy adapter. I have no idea where it goes. my mother board is a Asus p8p67 le. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you install the brass standoffs between the case and motherboard? If not, then you are grounding the case to the motherboard and thats why it won't start.

But did you only put them in the correct places? That board only requires 6 standoffs.

HDD led = hard drive activity light
pled = Power led light

look on page 1-35 of your motherboard manual and it will tell you.

Usually on the motherboard for POWER SWITCH it says "PWR SW" or something similar...same goes for HARD DISK DRIVE such as "HDD LED" or something similar...

Same goes for everything else...such as POWER LED would be something like "PWR LED" and so on...

Those things are usually located at the bottom of the motherboard near the right side...,but it really depends on the motherboard type.

Here is an example:
