Update:

Build is coming along nice, but I definitely underestimated the difficulty of plugging in all of the cables.



Right now I am stuck on 3 cables. The guide for my MOBO and the labels are the plugs are different and I can't figure out where they go. They are the power LED cables and the power SW







Other than those plugs, all I have left to do is put in my video card, tuck all of the cables away, and I am ready to rock.


One more question. My SSD didn't come with a cable. I have (2) SATA 6G b/s cables. Don't I need a different cable for my SSD than for my HDD?

You always skip the first 2 from right to left on that header.

So Power at the top and right below it Reset

Then again from right to left after the Power/Reset
Negative LED, Postive LED - TOP
Negative HDD LED, Positive LED - BOTTOM

For the SSD/HDD question. They are both SATA drives. The controller is both SATA controllers. They use the exact same power cable and SATA controller.

Make sure you hook the SSD to the first SATA header.

I'm jealous of your cable management. A few of my cables don't have enough slack to run through the channel between the mobo and opticals.
