i done all the hard work put everything in, when i went to put the final connection in which i thought would be the power cable i had a big problem. The power cable on my old case was just 1 plug that i plugged in to the motherboard, the power plug for my new case was in different cables, it had three 2 pin cables and one 3 pin cable they were labled RESET SW, POWER SW, POWER LED, HDd LED, LED.

i DONT NO HOW THESE 5 CABLES GO ONTO THE POWER SWITCH CAN SOMEONE HELP PLEASE

i had a look on the packerd bell website, could not find anything though, i have the 1506 model if it helps.

Im sorry i just dont get it, in my old case it was 1 plug that went into the power switch and this 1 has 4 seperate plugs POWER SW 2 PIN ITS RED & BLACK, POWER LED 3 PIN ITS GREEN & WHITE, LED ITS YELLOW AND WHITE, RESET SW ITS BLUE AND WHITE.

The power connecter looks like this im sure you no but i'll do this anyway.

cheers for the image chris i have seen that before but i did not understand the possitive and negitive that it says on the pic and what it means by ground etc
 
cheers for your help guys i just do not understand whay the power sw is on a 3 pin head when it only has 2 wires in it, may be its an error with the cableing i dont no but it just dont make sence going to have to send the case back now i think as its no good

cheers
 
I finally done it thatnks to everyone for all your help, the problem i had was the power led had 2 cables which was right but a 3 pin head with the middle pin being empty. So i just cut the head in the middle given me 2 seperate cables plugged them in and worked fine. Just found it strange that they made the middle pin blank, thought they would have made the end one blank really but who cares all done and it looks great, just off to get a new heat sink as mine is massive and it dont fit in the case to good cos the old case had vents on the side but this one dont so looking for a smaller one.

cheers guys you the best!

I think im going to go for this cpu cooler can anyone tell me if its a good choice please?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Arctic_Cooling_CPU_Coolers.html

Arctic Cooling Alpine 7 CPU Cooler (Socket 775) (HS-021-AR)
The low speed 92 mm fan reduces the noise level to a minimum. The patented fan holder is able to practically eliminate the typical buzzing sound of 92 mm fans. The Fluid Dynamic Bearing keeps oil inside the bearing and thus reduce friction inbetween and keep the noise level to a minimum. Air is drawn in from the top. Some air is blown out to all four directions in order to cool the voltage converters and chipset. The four rubber connectors o*n the fan case act as a vibration damper to absorb the vibration of the running fan and prevent vibration transfer to the heatsink and the case.

- Heat Sink: 78 x 98 x 56 mm
- Fan: 113 x 101 x 47.2 mm
- Overall Dimensions: 113 x 101 x 91.7 mm
- Rated Fan Speed: 300 - 2000 RPM
- Power Consumption: 0.15 Amp.
- Air Flow: 36 CFM / 62 m3/h
- Weight: 486 g
- Noise Level: 0.6 Sone
- Thermal Resistance: 0.26°C/Watt

To install it do you have to just unclip the 2 big clips on the side of the cpu cooler and pull it out, wipe the thermal paste off, put some new paste down then mount the new cooler and clip it down?

cheers guys
