I am trying to build a P55 using the MSI GD65 MOBO and the ANTEC Sonata orginal case.

Unlike the new cases it does not have the plus and minu signs on the case leads and the colours are different.
Has any one built using this case?
The case leads are
PWR SWITCH - Red and Black. Is Red is + and Black is -, right?
RESET SITCH - Black and White. Is Red + and White -?
POWER LED - Black and Green. Is Black + and Green -?
HDD LED - Red and Black, Is Red + and Black -?
Speaker LED Black and red. Is Red+ and Black -?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but with the mixing of colurs I wanted to be sure, can't afford to write off £300 gear.
 
it doesnt really matter which way round they go, for example the power switch, and reset switch are just that - switches so along as both wires are on it will close the circuit

the power and hdd leds can operate in both directions so again as long as they are both connected it will illuminate.
 
The power and reset switches are fine connected either way around. The LEDs however need to be connected the correct way (they are diodes after all...) but getting them wrong won't damage anything, they just won't light up.

Just plug them in and if the LEDs don't light reverse the connectors.
 
For future reference, the negative wires are almost always either all white or all black. Coloured wires are the positive terminals.
