Problem with chieftec case

[ehswildcats2002]

I bought a chieftec case oem. I don't know the model #, but it is blue with a side window. There is a fan in the window and there are two usb and one firewire on the front of the case. That is where my problem comes in. I have an Asus nforce 2 mobo. The problem is that wires from the usb and firewire on the front of the case don't match up with the labeled pin connectors on the mobo. Does anyone have an instruction book from chieftec or any ideas for me to get my front usb and firewire working.

i had the same problem when i did my first mobo installation in an old compaq case...i took out the compaq garbage and installed an MSI mobo...the usb connectors were a different type than what was on the new mobo so i just got out the wire cutters and some itty bitty butt splices
and matched up the wires...snip snip crimp crimp...aw crap that aint right! :? ...snip snip crimp crimp a 2nd time.....ahhhh that werks! :D

The problem is solved. For anyone having similar difficulties, go to www.chieftecusa.com, not www.chieftec.com. Next find your case and go to support there is a diagram provided there in acrobat form for download. Thanks for the suggestions, hopefully this will work.
