    a friend just got this case and we've been putting everything together for the past few hours, but we're having a problem getting the front blue leds to work, basically they're just connected to the psu with a pass through molex connector, ive stripped down the front cover and havent seen any signs of damage to the wire or anything, does anyone have any ideas or had a similar problem before?

    the only thing that I can think of is if the manufacturers wired the LEDs the wrong way around. You could check this out safely enough by putting the current the other way thru the LEDS. If I recall correctly any type of diode won't let the current flow the wrong way and putting the current thru the wrong way shouldn't harm them. how you wire the current in reverse to them is up to you.
