When will mobo jumpers be replaced?

Hi folks,

Just moved my workstation (Gigabyte UD5) into my new Corsair 650D and have come to realise that the jumper system for the power switch, reset switch, speaker etc. is incredibly out-dated compared to most other parts of a system and hasn't moved on for years and years.

I find it odd that mobo and case manufacturers haven't figured out a way to simply jam all of the jumper cables/pins inside one convenient "master jumper" that plugs into the mobo and job done. It's a right faff fiddling with all these tiny jumpers and getting them the right way round (+ and - etc.)

I want to see some innovation in this area. Who's with me!?

So I'm not the only one who'se fed up with this then!

I reckon a dead simple system where all the various cables from the items just run down the front of the case to a single master jumper, which then connects to the mobo where they all currently do. It would accommodate as many/few connectors as needed. I always spend at least 15 mins faffing with these jumpers and find that at least one LED is wrong or something isn't in the right place.
