I just got an iMon and haven't hooked it up completely yet. It comes with a ATX patch cable that plugs into the MB where the main power goes. You then attach your main power from the PSU to the other end of this cable. This patch cable has a pair of wires (must be power, it's a pair of black & red wires) that branches from the MB to the VFD panel. You also reroute your power on switch from the case to the panel and then from the panel to the MB with a different pair. How this all works I'm not sure but that's how the wires run.

I think the USB hook up is for the display and the remote. It looks like a normal internal USB connector and nothing it the documentation says anything in particular about it, although I haven't read through all of it yet.

I haven't finished hooking mine up because the ATX patch cable has the 4 extra wires you need for P4 MB's stuck on the end and my MB doesn't have room for it (I have a AMD cpu). So I'll need to dremel these extra 4 wires off before I can use it. :-(

Just my 2 cents worth,
Mike
