I just bought a new case and a new motherboard but i cant figure out where to put the front panel connectors at

Motherboard>>http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186155

Ive connected them in the right place by looking at the motherboard guide put pc dosent come on
have no idea it might be the case? or when i put the hdd led into the power sw one the hdd led light came on so it has power i think o.o
found somethin out if i hold the power button then press it again the lights blink for like a sec but dosent come or stay on

Some of the colored pinouts will have a black plus mark through them to indicate which pin is positive and which is ground. Go back and make sure you didnt accidently switch one of them around, its easy to do especially when one row of pins goes + - + - then the bottom row goes - + - +

For the front power button there should be a lead with the letters pwr or pwrsw, sometimes it will be on the mainboard too.

From looking at the picture of your mainboard the front pannel pin outs are labled 'FP1'
 
Just so you know your links are pointing to 2 different mobos. No case here.
Could be the switch itself if you know it's connected properly. Read all the reviews on the case (?) to see if others have the same problem.
