1st build question

[mellostomp]

My first full system build, so a goofy question. My case has a speaker, and I can't figure where to hook it to on the Mobo. MSI K8N Neo Platinum is the board.

Oh, by the way, the Raidmax case I bought is both wimpy and cheesy. Looks ok, but the front bezel pegs broke off during shipping and the front USB port doesn't line up with the hardware. Nothing that a Dremel can't fix though. So I won't be buying another anytime soon.

On your motherboard there should be a large connector called Panel. Search your handbook for it. On this panel, a section is colorcoded and called Speaker. Plug it in there; make sure you have it in the right way, just experiment which way.

Yep, here's a screenshot identifying which pins if you need it: http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/m...N_NEO_PLAT_SPEAKER.gif

Thank you for the help. I was expecting it to be by itself on the Mobo.

Just about finished with my case mods and then it's on to see if I can get it to work!!

Good luck, and here are some tips on preventing instant worm infection if you need them: http://www.omnicast.net/~tmcfa...s/build/resources.html (bottom line: make sure you have a firewall of some sort before plugging your computer's network cable in, if you have broadband).
