I took a trip to MicroCenter in beautiful Paterson, NJ today and was directed to the Build it Yourself Center. This case is huge compared to my last one, so far everything is working properly. So much room for new fans to go, using Velcro (like the EZPass Kind) to mount the fans is pretty nifty, forget screws and finding safe places to drill into. I patched together my old towers Power On button, it looks awful but it turns this puppy back on. I gave up on trying to get the motherboard connected to the G5 Case's Power Switch, I never cared about the front USB on the case as I cut out a slot for my little Front Panel Card Reader/USB I got cheap off NewEgg years ago. I wouldn't trust myself soldering them into something, but I have surprised myself in the past. Here is what I saved from my old tower, the white piece obviously fits on the motherboard and the 2 little wires with black endings came out as safely as I could from the old tower. It may help to say I have an older ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe motherboard. This is what I ordered as I recall reading somewhere it would do the trick, I really hope so as I am not the best when it comes time to solder things back together. but here is what my case looks from the side now as I propped the motherboard up today for the first time and started piecing things together. I ordered a Supermicro CBL084L Front Panel Connector that I hope connects everything for me automatically and I don't have to start fishing for the Power On/Off holes even though I do see the diagrams, I just do not know if what I saved from my old PC would still even work? I could post a picture if needed. I took out my old PC's Power On Cable, saved the pin setup that plugged onto the motherboard that nicely tells you what pin does what on the MB. as for the rest of the options I don't care, not even about a Reset button if there even is one, never noticed. The only thing that worries me is connecting the motherboard to the tower for the Power On/Off. I am approaching the finish line as I just need to file down my back panel a bit more and then snap it into place so that my PCI cards can reach to be securely screwed down properly as I do not want my graphics card or my new USB 3.0 reader hanging loosely. totally blows away what I came up with converting my G5 to ATX tower. Hey guys, I must say some really nice work above.
