Centurion 530 ATX case

Hi
Ive got a Centurion 530 case to build my PC with.What i would like to know is what the cables are that come from the front panel of the case go.I know about the power led, reset switch,usb and firewireleads etc,but i am not sure where the AC 97 cable or the HD audio cable go as these seem to be plugged into each other.My reason for asking is that the motherboard i am getting a MSI DIAMOND has already got onboard creative 7.1 sound,so do i actually have to connect these leads to the mobo or can i fasten them out of the way.
Help would be much appreciated.

AC97 is for audio...you plug the connectors into the audio header on the motherboard if you want to be able to plug in earphones, a microphone or speakers in the front of your computer.

HD (high definition) audio cable...not quite sure what this is for.

Whether you connect them or not is up to you...if you don't need front audio capability you can leave them unplugged.
