Power LED Header

[pengincloud]

My MB (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157176) has a 2 pin Power LED header and my case has a 3 pin (with dummy center) plug.
Tried a couple of different solutions, but no luck. Not very experienced PC builder, could use some help.

it looks like youve got the standard motherboard header, but the case plug is wrong, how old/what type of case is it?

Pretty decent brand new case for a budget build

I've run into this too before. If you have the space next to the header just remove a pin and move it next to the one you didn't remove.

In other words, pull one pin from the black housing and place it in the "middle slot" of the black housing. "Black housing" is the piece that reads "POWER LED" on the image below. Based on this image, if you flip the housing around, you'll see where you can push in a piece that holds the pin or connector in the housing. After removing it, you can slide it into the middle slot. From there, plug into your motherboard.

Why would he need to do this though? Seems odd that this wouldn't be standardized yet.

Thanks for the replys. I thought it was odd that this was even an issue, but it really is only the power on light so im not freaking out. Finished the cable managing and added some interior blue led to make it pretty slick looking. Got a black widow aftermarket heatsink fan that really helped with the phenom II x4 processor running a little on the hot side. 102 in the sf bay area yesterday.
