A: Possibly, but check the pinout. Many OEM cases (Acer, Dell) use proprietary block connectors that are not compatible. You may need to cut the block and separate the wires.
Adding to the confusion, many pre-built cases (e.g., from Acer) use a single, consolidated block connector rather than individual tiny plugs. If you are transplanting this motherboard into a standard aftermarket case, you will encounter the seven tiny two-pin connectors (POWER SW, RESET SW, HDD LED, POWER LED+/-). Without a pinout, it is like solving a puzzle with no picture.
