Building a new computer

Hi,
Okay everything came and I am almost ready to start building the computer. I was told if I needed any help that you guys would be able to help me. So here goes.
Like I said before I'm not afraid of anything but the power supply cords. There is awire from the from part of the case that looks something like thisIt's a striped wire with 4 pronges at the end of it that plugs in somewhere. Each one has something written on it:
1. Power Led (the largest)
2. HDD Led
3. Reset Led
4. power SW
It des not say in the mobo book where these go but I'm pretty ure that I need to plug them in somewhere.

Is there a place on the web where they have instructions on building a PC from the case up?

Thanks Jog

In case you need it, this might help lol. This is where you can find the mobo. I know it's not a great one but for a 9 year old I thought it might work. If not I can always gett another one. It was very inexpensive not that money is not object but I figured if I screwed it up I would out liess than $50.00.

Ok, this is an easy one provided you have the manual for your mobo?

Hard to say without the manual in front of me but looking at the picture, it looks like there is a white header with pins down beside the 'cmos' battery. Usually in very small print you should see the letters the order that these plug into.

This is the 'area' where these plug into. You could always send them an email.

Thank you there are lots of pictures. I'm a visual person and that helps a lot.
I have a good idea of where things go and tomorrow I'm just going to have at it as it were lol. Good thing about it i it's not this one so I'll be able to come back on to talk to you guys and let you know what happens or what I've done wrong and things like that. Not only can you help me but maybe someoen else can be helped too.
