    Re: having issue with front pannel connectors

    That sounds very odd. Every motherboard I've ever had has had the front panel connectors at the bottom right handside of the board (obviously part of the ATX standard) therefore cases are built with this in mind.

    Does the inside look like this?

    HEXUS.net - Review :: Antec Nine Hundred Chassis : Page - 9/11

    Sounds like the cables have got tangled up or stuck somewhere and just need a gentle tug or rearrangement to make them fit.

    Got any pictures of the situation?

    Mine just reach on a P5B Deluxe wifi/ap, but have to pass diagonally across the board so no chance of nice cabling. Poor design.

    Re: having issue with front pannel connectors

    Check the cables, I had same problem with my Asus P5K-E/ WiFi mobo but found them tucked up inside unit. Got them out using tweezers , but then they only just reach the connector.
    Good Luck !
    Cave canem!
