Please Help With An ASUS P4P800-E and an Raidmax Case

Hello!

I am trying to build my computer but Ive run into a small problem
the diagram for the power stuff on the mobo doesnt match up with the lil black plugs I have to plug in. For example, I have the following...
THE MANUAL STATES:
System Panel Connector(20-Pin Panel)
This connector accommodates several system front panel functions.
then the diagram shows Power LED(PLED+/-), Speaker Connector(+5V, Ground, Ground, Speaker), IDE_LED(IDE_LED +/-), SMI Lead(ExtSMI#,Ground), ATX Power Switch(PWR, Ground), Reset SW(Reset, Ground)
-SYSTEM POWER LED LEAD(Green 3-1 Pin PLED)
This 3-1 pin connector connects to the system power LED. The LED lights up when you turn on the system power, and blinks when the system is in sleep mode.

-System Warning Speaker Lead(Orange 4-Pin SPKR)
This 4-Pin connector connects to the case mounted speakers and allows you to hear system beeps and warnings

-Reset Switch Lead(Blue 2-Pin RESET)
This 2-Pin connector connects to the case-mounted reset switch for rebooting the system without turning off the system power.

-ATX Power Switch/Soft-Off Switch Lead(Yellow 2-Pin PWRBTN)
This connector connects a switch that controls the system power. Pressing the power switch turns the system between On & Sleep, Pressing ON & SOFT OFF, depending on the BIOS or OS Settings. Pressing the power switch while in the ON Mode for more then 4 Seconds turns the system OFF.

-System Management Interrupt Lead(Light Blue 2-Pin SMI)
This 2-Pin Connector allows you to manually place the system into a suspended mode, or "green" mode, where system activity is instantly decreased to save power and to expand the life of certain system components. Attach the case-mounted suspend switch to this 2-Pin Connector.

-Hard Disk Activity LED(Red 2-Pin IDE_LED)
This connector supplies power to the hard disk activity LED. Any read or write activity of an IDE Device cause this LED to Light UP.

THE SYSTEM PANEL CONNECTOR IS COLOR-CODED FOR EAST AND FOOLPROOF CONNECTION. TAKE NOTE OF THE SPECIFIC CONNECTOR COLORS AS DESCRIBED.

Now the only wires I find in the case, none of them have those labels on them.
I have the following wires:
Power Switch: Blue & White
Reset Switch: Blue & Black
Speaker: Red & Black(Twisted Together)
VCC2: Red
DATA+2: Green
DATA-2: White
GND2: Black
DATA-1: White
DATA+1: Green
GND1: Blue
VCC1: Red
VCC: White
TPA-: Orange
TPB-: Pink
TPB+: Lt Green
GND2: Black
TPA+: Lt Blue
So I am completely lost as to what goes where, The System Panel Color layout is as follows:
TOP ROW: Green(with like a + through it), 2 Green,2 Brownish, White, Orange(with like a + through it), & 3 More Orange.
BOTTOM ROW: Red(with like a + through it), Red, White, 2 Lt Blue, 2 Yellowish, White, 2 Blue.
Any help or input would be great, thanks for your time!

ATX Switch= Power Switch
RESET Switch: colors don't matter/will work either way
TPA/TPB wires are for firewire connections
The first 9 are for USB
Don't see any LEDs in your case wires.

I can't anything listed on the case at all. So where exactly do I hook up all those other wires then? Do i need to hook them up or no?
Thanks!

Turn the case and motherboard so that when you lay the manual beside it they're in the same orientation.
Now check those little black plugs carefully, they're labeled.
That is you will see reset,power and so on.
Seperate out the ones you will need from the ones that you don't. The case has to do more than work with one board so there will be extras, just tuck them out of the way you won't be using them.
Now working from the diagram in the manual and the lettering on the plugs and, if you're lucky the lettering on the board (if it's there it'll be miniscule), connect them.
Remember the lettered side on plug is the one that faces out.
If you get it wrong nothing will blow up but the feature won't work which will be you're clue to go back and turn the plug around.
Count carefully as you do it : So, for example, the first four pins on the left are for the power, the next pin is skipped and then I use the 2 pins after that for sound. Put the power connector (remember the label) on the first four skip one and put the case speaker connector on the next two.
If you ever find yourself looking at backward lettering turn the plug around. You should see something like pwr-rset-spk in a row.
