HELP! Inside Case Extension Cables Needed!

I inherited an old ITX motherboard with a... passably decent AMD APU. With some other older parts laying about my house, I decided that this would make a good start for a "low rent" Living Room PC for the family to hook up to the TV and play some lower requirement games.

Anyway, I picked up a nice, flat case and... while the board and the low profile video card fit, fine... The power cable and ALL front panel cables DO NOT reach where they need to on that tiny ITX mainboard!

Yeah, I probably should have bought one of those cubes, which would have allowed me to toss in a full size card to, but... the goal was to preserve low, flatter shape of the PS3 it is replacing and look unobtrusive.

I have been unable to find the right search parameters for front panel USB and Front Panel extensions, same for the HD Audio or Digital Audio FP cable AND the power button, reset and LED front panel cables.

HELP!

What case? Everything should be within spec

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

The ITX motherboard has ALL of the front panel, power and other pertinent connections across the top of the image.

The motherboard is a GA-F2A888XN-WIFI.

The cables, do not reach far enough for the layout of this stupid motherboard.

Unless I can find or spend the time to solder each of the front panel wires to be longer... (I'll need an internal power extension too, because while I can JUST plug in the power to the MB, the cables are tight and will not allow a video card to be installed.) I'm going to have to find a new MB, CPU and RAM. 

Which puts this project completion out for a few more months. I just don't want to spend the money right now.

That's very strange.
