Front Panel Audio Connector Issue

[Brandingald]

Hello Guys,

 

so I need a little help with something I'm working on... I'm fairly new to the whole build your own PC world and didn't build a whole lot of systems. Also, english is not my native language, but I'll try to explain my problem as clear as possible.

 

I got the opportunity to buy an old Lenovo ThinkCentre M82 for only 50€ from the firm my father's working at, the only problem was that the case was somewhat messed up. So the plan was to simply stuff everything from the ThinkStation into a new case, throw in a gtx750 I have laying around from my old PC and build a nice looking, budget gaming pc. I thought it would be easy and bought a Zalman T3 Mini M-ATX Tower without thinking about it too much... 

 

I ran into a few problems I could handle but there is one thing I need some help with... basically I have no Idea how to connect the Intel HD Audio connector that comes from the front panel to the mainboard. The front audio from the lenovo panel has a different connector and also the pins on the mainboard do not fit. Here are some images to better demonstrate what I'm trying to explain: http://imgur.com/a/Cse4p

The front audi is the only thing not working currently and it would be really nice if I could fix it somehow.... so does anyone have an idea how it could work?

an you pull the audio plug from both cases and then put the Lenovo in the new case?

looks like a proprietary connector.

you can probably splice the end off the connector from the old case, and solder it on to this one, but other than that I don't think it'd work.
