Standardize this

When are they going to standardize the leads for the HDD/Power Led's and the reset/power sw's and speaker. I'm getting tired of having to connect these damn things one by one all the time. Make a single connection that's as easy to attach as a SATA cable. Not hard to do.
 
I agree with you totally. You'd think after all these years they'd do something. But... if you REALLY hate it, you could always get a lian-li :p, only have to do it once then. (its got a quick connect plug so you can disconnect the mobo from case without pulling all the bitch pins out)
 
Yeah, that's what I'd like to see. One single connector that you plug in to the front panel.

I never thought about it, but that is probably the longest part of installing a motherboard for me. Even when it's silkscreened on the board it is usually hard to see. The OEMS have done this already. There are standards for everything. Makes you wonder why not for this?
 
maybe if we get Kyle and Anand and Tom all in on it, the manufacturers will listen. We're just a few people whom noone knows. Those guys are well known to the manufacturers. I have a Lian-Li pc-6077 case, but it doesn't have that connector.
 
why stop there? I mean i really hate having to plug in 15 different little wires for external fireware adapters
 
A blob of hot glue? (So that the leads are glued to each other, but not glued to the board.) Saw that once on an old AT motherboard I had to work on once, and I thought "That's a great idea...".
 
But the problem with that is all motherboards pins aren't in the same position.
