This is my 1st time I build a new PC and have the following 3 questions (Case = Antec Pro series P182, PSU = Antec 650W Neopower Blue, Mobo = Asus P5k3 Deluxe WiFi, CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6850).
1: The case has 2 LED lights for 2 IEDE HD with 2 pins plug for each LED but my Mobo has only 1 connection for these lights. Can I use a "Y" connection (if it exists) or I should forget about the 2nd LED?
2: The Mobo provides a 4 pin plug for the system warning speaker but there is no such wire included in my Case or Mobo. Where do I find this wiring?
3: The case comes with three 120mm fans and each fan has only one 4 pin 12V molex connector (with a Black & Red wires only) and a switch attached to the case with HI, MED & LO positions (dont know the number of wires for each switch because they are fed with a tinny cable). My mobo has four 3pin voltage regulation connections for case fans. How do I connect my fans to the mobo so it can regulate the fan's speed as needed? Thank you

The P182 is a nice case, I have the P180 and love it to bits.

1. You could use something like this (I presume that it is the right spacing needed for the header), but I wouldn't see the point in having both lights flash on at the same time for the hard drive. I'm not sure how I've wired the lights in my case, but one of them is the hard drive access, and the other is permanently on, like the power light (not sure which header I plugged it into, but it flashes when the PC is in standby).
2. The warning speaker isn't essential, but there might be one included in your case (afraid I can't remember if there was with mine) it will look like this (as it is not attached to the case).
3. You would need to use something like this. When using it set the switch on the back of your case to be on full so the mobo can control it properly.
