Hi
Just one small problem. The motherboard has a two pin connector for the power on light and the case has a three pin plug, with just the outer two pins used.
Thanks.

Thats unusual as most case LED leads I have seen have always been two pins.
You may need to do a bit of bodging to overcome it.
One way that comes to mind, if you have a couple of jumpers off an old hard drive or CD drive, is to place one side of each jumper over one pin on the mobo then using two short pieces of wire of the right thickness (a bit of fuse wire or the copper earth wire from mains cable twin and earth) to connect to the case LED plug.

I  just remove one of the outer wires from the 3 pin plug using a needle to push on the wire clip until it comes out then put in the inside
of the 3 pin plug.

It's very difficult to get to now the pc assembled. The other strange thing about my new motherboard is that it has no speaker connections.

Some have an audible beeper chip on board.
