Please help me with my mobo and case

[smkeller9]

I am completley new to all of this stuff and I already made a major mistake. My friend tried to help me out with everything but it didn't quite work out =/. Anyways I bought a ASUS A7N8X Motherboard Specs BUNDLE W/ COOLING FAN & (AMD XP 3000+; KINGSTON 512MB NON-ECC PC3200) and a Kingwin All Aluminum 13-Bay Mid tower Premoded case KT-436WM Black w/ Silver accents, 3 Clear Windows, and Clear Acrylic Panel for a case. The case options or extras can't be used on this mobo, I can not get the power, reset, or front usb ports to go to this due to the fact it is just not going together. The usb ports I understand due to the fact that the mobo has 4 back ones, but I can not deal with the other problems. Not only that but the vid card wouldn't screw into the back without it popping out of the mobo a bit. I am returning the case, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP me find a case that will fit my mother board exact?

Here is the motherboard details ( http://www.mwave.com/mwave/doc2/A19038.html )

I have been waiting 4 years to build my own computer and I finally saved up enough and now all of this... Someone please help, thank you. If for some weird reason you need to see the case I got, here it is ( http://www.abspc.com/app/search.asp?...nufactory=1633 ).

Please help, I am returning the case and I need to find a new one. I want a silver/black or just one of the colors, aluminum case, with clear windows on the sides. I know this a long thread but please help out there. Thank you.

I'm not really looking for a solution to that case, i want someone to show me a new case to get that will fit my mobo like a glove. I already gave description of what I am looking for in my first post.

hmm, that shouldn't happen. most cases work perfectly. Try www.electroseller.com They make good cases.

i don't really understand what the problem was . do the wires not reach ?? are the plugs different ? your not really clear on what the problem was . did you already send the case back ? there are pins on the motherboard to connect more usb ports . if your board isn't a deluxe board then you have no fire wire . and there are pins for audio also on the board . not sure about the mic . i am kinda lost on what the problem was .

[smkeller9]

Like I said I am really new to this. There were not plugs for the power or reset button, and the usb ports that the mobo had were all for the back (4) and the 2 in the front were basically just dead.

[Omardeth]

so why not just use 2 for the back and plug the front ones in . the case had more options than the mother board is all . the power switch , reset , speaker , hd light , power light are small plugs and all go in one cluster of pins . if you look in your motherboard book there should be a diagram for them , also a diagram for the audio on the front .

[smkeller9]

Just shows how much a nub it is when it comes to these kind of things. All of the case plugs I have found a place for except for the usb but I don't think they will go on. I also couldn't find a place for a plug labeled H.D.D. LED help if anyone knows, what else would this plug be called?

[Omardeth]

it should be in the clucster of pins that the power switch , reset switch , speaker all plug into . is your board a deluxe version or non deluxe version . i have both i will look at them .

there is bigger header of noramlly bare copper pins to which you can connect leds and power button ect including hdd light - look in manual for configeration

also i am looking at buying that board (deluxe) so i know it has four back ports and a header for 2 more ports - just connect your front ports to that header insted of connecting usb bracket to it.
