Antec LANBOY - can't figure out purpose of 2 extra front LEDs by Dirk Puslich
Hi. I have an Antec LANBOY. There are 4 LEDs on the front. One for power, one for HDD activity, and two labeled "I" and "II". There are also wires attached to these LEDs labeled I and II but there is nothing to attach them to. WTF? They are not in the manual. Thanks!

Recommendations by Hunter
I have a spare processor sitting here. It's an AMD Athlon XP 1700+. The catch is: it's a Thoroughbred Core. Any recommendations on a mother board for this chip? I'll probably use spare parts and create a linux machine out of it. Thanks
