(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Right so im trying to move my motherboard and all its components from 1 case to another so i have a bigger case for my graphics card to fit in (currently have a tiny case lol)

so yeah i get the motherboard in the new case and everything, easy. Connect up the usb cables, easy. But i need to connect the power button and reset button on the new case to the motherboard so that i can switch it on. However, the power button cable (Power SW, im a bit of a computer noob) doesnt seem to have a socket to put into on my motherboard, with my other case it was a huge socket but with this new case the cable only has a small plug thing to put in, so how do i connect it? thanks

Some Pics:

My Current Case(the small one):

So I'll try and explain again using the pictures. I want to move the motherboard from the small case to the big case, however the Power SW and Reset SW plugs are smaller in the bigger case, so i dont know where to plug those in. If anybody knows how to plug em in/where to plug em in, post please? =)

I don't see how cutting it would help... Here is the layout of a standard front panel connector:

(Ignore the portion on the right, I took it from some random thread found in a google search.)

Does yours look anything like this? If so, it's probably laid out like that.
