so you just solder them to the back? sure but you are going to have to cut quite a few holes in that motherboard tray probably

 

*edit*

actiually at a closer look thats slimmer then at first glance, either way it would be nice if you could plug something into the connectors to fill them up

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Yes, they are soldered to the back of the board.

Depending on the case both connectors should come out through the CPU mount hole.
