I would like to purchase a new case and power supply for an area x51-r2. I was looking at the Thermaltake CORE V21 Black Extreme Micro ATX Cube and EVGA 500 power supply. How do I know where to connect all of the cables from the case to the motherboard ? Power supply is pretty straightforward but the case I'm a little concerned about. Not sure where the power button cable would plug in to motherboard for example. The x51-r2 case is overheating.
 
Solution
I/O cables are fairly standardized

That would be the standard layout.

Looking in this thread though: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2399117/moving-alienware-x51-case.html
They state the power switch to be required in one spot......which goes against the standard.....so I'm not able to give you a definitive answer.
