Putting together a system with an HAF 912 case and a Gigabyte EP45 DS3L board. Regarding connecting the front panel leads to the mobo header, the header is marked - and +. Generally is the white the pos or the neg? Does the orientation matter on the HDD LED, Pwr LED, Reset, etc. ? Thanks

I don't care about RPMs, just spinning/not-spinning. Everything I can find monitors up to something like 4 fans with all sorts of fancy--I just want a status light, nothing more--but for more fans.
