New system, where's the on switch?

Yup. I'm assuming I am actually pressing the power switch on the case.... It's obviously gone through QA/testing, so it must work.
Oddly, when I plug in the psu to the wall, there's no sparking/etc when the pins connect.
And there doesn't appear to be a booklet/manual for the case in the boxes I received.

Yeah, there was an odd rattling sound when I got the case out of the box, not sure what that was, but it's working at least, even if I did have to use the power button on the motherboard. Now to see if I can get the drives attached & stuff copied across/installed/etc...
Yeah, I unplugged my old drives & it switched on fine, booted into windows. I then plugged in one of the old drives, popped into the bios & noticed that the secondary HDD wasn't showing up (the power cable had come out). Now I'm back in windows & copying over all of my stuff from the old storage HDD & will try with my old SSD when that's all done (which may take some time with ~133 gig....).

Sounded like a loose piece of plastic (hopefully, rather than a loose screw, couldn't see anything move around/loose when I had a look). And yes, I'm copying everything over. At least the time the copy's taking should let me tidy up the mass of **** behind my desk...
I'm a bit confused & hope someone will be able to enlighten me.
My motherboard has a built in soundcard, I also have an add-in soundcard. My headphones connect via USB, so how would I know where the sound's comming from (the onboard sound hardware or the addin card)? And/or should I (can I?) disable the onboard sound hardware in the bios (I assume I can like I would with any onboard gfx hardware)?
