Got the parts for the new computer from Newegg (!!) and I'm putting the system
together. Scammed a mid tower case from an old computer -Chieftec. I don't
want to screw up the connections to the front panel header. All the connectors
from the case to the panel header (power switch, power led, speaker etc...)
are set up in pairs: a colored wire paired with a black wire. As I type
this question, the answer seems almost certain, but I'm wicked jerky as I
don't want to assume the obvious and fryolate the board --so, is black ground
or "negative" and the colored wires positive?
Thank you thank you
MR
