Yes it does! Just connected them. Waiting for a couple of more fans
and ide cables, and then it should be ready. Who needs dial up tech
support with people like you? Thanks again Paul. You have it seems a
very deep knowledge of things computer.

Glad to have helped.

Another question has popped up. Although I have all the wires from
the case plugged in to the right motherborad pins (power, reset,
audio, etc.) I now wonder, and please excuse my stupidity, since the
pin plug can be installed either way on the motherboard pins, for
example - take the "power" plug that is coming from the case wire.
It has two holes in it to be inserted on the two pins from the
motherboard and it is not KEYED, it can be inserted either way--180
degrees. How do know which way is correct. The wires are different
colors---does it matter ? I don't want to power it up if I don't
know this for sure.

Thanks again.

For the power, reset and audio connectors it doesn't matter. Only the power led and hard drive led matter. Usually one side of the pin is marked as +. If you by chance get them on the wrong way there will be no harm done. If the led's are not lighting up, all you have to do is reconnect them the other way around the next time the computer is shut off. You don't want to be fooling around inside the case with a live mother board in case you accidentally short something.
