    Hey big b, thx a lot with the help on the firewire headers, really helpful, thank you. I have a couple more questions regarding my usb2.0 connectors and this strange orange connector coming from my front intake fan. I think that this orange connector is a connector that goes to the chassis header right? the other 2 fans dont have this connector.

    Now the two usb 2.0 cables in the picture, i know where they go, but i dont know which row they go on, whether its top or bottom. I assume top, because both cables have 1 row of 5 pins, and as u can see from the picture, the header has a bottom row of 4 pins, and a top row of 5 pins. Which row do i connect the cable to? thx

    The orange connector for your fan simply feeds RPM information to your motherbard, so you can control the fan and/or monitor the RPMs from your BIOS. As for the USB, it really doesn't matter which one goes on top or bottom, as long as you have the pinout oriented the right way (black = ground). :)
