oooooooo
ooooooxo
Something like that, and the old motherboard has the appropriate pins to connect it to. The new motherboard has what you see above:
oooox
ooooo
Something like that. So no matter how I try to plug the 'power connector' into the new motherboard it wont work.
So my new question is, well, what now? Do I get a new case or something, that has a 'power connector' that fits the new motherboard?

Is the connector for you power switch a big ass plug or does it look more like this:
It's not the best pic, but that was the best I could find. This is all the wires that I have in my case. I found this on a site that has a review of the case I bought. The set of wires toward the top are for the front USB, ignore those. All the wires in the bottom of the pic are for the LED's and the power switch. The power switch in my case is a little plug that takes up 4 spots, but only has two wires. To follow your example it would be like this: oooo
All 4 spots are open, but only the outside 2 have wires in them. Yours may be different, and it may cause you problems, but this stuff should be pretty standard.
