I dont know if you people read my previous threads, but I am in the process of building a computer right now. So far I think I am doing pretty good. Here is what I have done so far:

I think I have done everything according to instructions so far, but if you see something out of place please tell me.
Anyway, I ran into the problem when it came time to install the power switch and speaker and the led lights connectors. Here is what I am talking about http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~andkhi/conn1.jpg
They all are supposed to plug into this long row of pins, how ever it doesnt say which way its supposed to plug in. Does the writing go on the out side or the inside? (the connectors are supposed to make 2 rows). I looked at the diagrams and each wire means a different thing, so the it matters which side i put them in. Who knows which way do I put those connectors in? Thats a lian-li pc60 case and a p4c800-e deluxe mobo, if you need that information.
Also, I was wondering what these connectors are used for?

I am kinda worried about them because I havent been able to find any space on the mother board to plug them in. My power supply came with 3 main branches of connectors. 2 were sleeved in stainless steel, and 1 in rubber. The first branch that was sleeved in stainless steel, had just one connector on it. It was a large 20 pin connector which plugs into the motherboard, and I guess its the main power supply. The second stainless sleeved connector had 3 plugs in it. First was a 4 pin plug which also plugged into the motherboard and was some kind of power suppply. The other two I am picturing here. I figured that the branches that are sleeved in stainless steeel are probably the main power supply branches, since the third branch has connectors for the cd, floppy etc. I am wondering what these two connectors that I have pictured for? Are they power supplies to some other kind of motherboard? Or are they supposed to plug somewhere into my motherboard? Or what are they?
