Heres what messed it all up....The schematic for the( mobo) shows PWR-LED RESET HD-LED SPEAKER ATX-SW....The plugs I have from the front of the case are as follows(you can see the difference) SPEAKER HD-LED RESET POWER-SW and the 2 single post - +. Aha!!!!

Yep, the -+ is the Power LED, it always screws me up as well even after having this case for a year.

For leds, the colored wire is always "outside" the set of pins. Asus has some funky way of putting those, but the colored wire is still outside.
