Well, different motherboards have different layouts. Any chance you payed attention to which plugs came off what in the old case?

Off hand, I'd say put the Power LED onto the 3-pin one (you may need to try it in both orientations, leds only work one way). To see which one is the power switch, try getting the system all set up and ready to go except for the front panel connections. Use a flat-head screw driver to short each pair, one at a time. When the system turns on, you've found the power switch. The other one is either the HDD LED (which you may need to try in both orientations) or the reset sw, whichever you had on you old case.

edit: make sure you don't short the wrong things on your board...
