I've been building computers for a long time. One of the things that still amazes me, after all these years, is that case manufactures and motherboard manufactures haven't created a standard header for the case front panel wires. They are still are spit into individual reset switch, power switch, power LED, and HDD LED wires. The terminal pins for the case front panel connections on just about every motherboard I've seen for at least a decade are in the exact same layout. Rather than make us builders use our, now aging, fingers to gently and carefully align each wire connector to the pins, the manufactures should agree on a standard front panel header block.
What's the problem that is not allowing them to pull this off, since just about every other connection on the motherboard has been standardized?
