Using an AsRock AM2NF3-VSTA mobo. (budget or whatttttt haha)

SO yeh. I got a case a while ago of e-buyer.

From the power button on the case, theres this white+blue thin lead, quite long too, and the connection on the end of it is a tiny 2 pin one, and it says "Power sw" on it.

Im wondering where the hell this goes on my mobo?

Checked the manual, no mention in there.

Im guessing this needs to be plugged in for the power button to work...and thus my computer to power up.

ANy help appreciated.

It goes at the bottom of the case, near the USB headers. You're lookng for a group of pins like this:

Hey sam, was needing you on msn earlier hehe.

Ill have a look-see tomorrow, but i seriously scoured the whole board and couldnt find anything that looked like them.

Im hoping thats my problem anyway...without that connected, it wont power up right? Pretty obvious i guess.
