You can sepperate out all the wires by cutting them out of their plastic casing, then you would have to attach the wires to their correct motherboard pin, or you could try to refasion your own switch, to switch on your motherboard all you have to do is make the connection between the 2 pins on your motherboard that turn your computer on, you can even do it with your car keys if you want to be ghetto.

Just out of curiosity why are you changing cases? I would assume looks., but this is obviously going to void your warranty. By looking at how long you've been here I am also wondering why you didn;t build one.

I am positive there is not a question you could come up with that there tech help could answer that could not be answered on here. I am not trying to come off harsh, I am just wondering.

I'm currently using a dell case, so we kinda have the opposite problem. With my case, both of the pins for power are right next to eachother, so by tracing the wires on the origional button you could find the pins for the power button and probably connect your power switch to that. If that wont work, you could post a pic or two, I'm sure we can find a simple solution. If newer power switch connectors haven't changed, I'm pretty sure I can help. I'll post some pics to illustrate my point in a minute.

NOTE: please excuse my poor grammar and poor sentance strucure; I'm kinda out of it right now. Thanks.
