What do I do if I run out of available LED power supplies?

As I was building my computer I was unsure of where to plug in the LEDs. I spoke to someone over AIM that had experience building computers, and he instructed me that there is a universal set of pins in the lower right corner of my motherboard that are designed for things like that.

I plugged in all of the LED's and whatnot, because the front of my tower has two blue headlights.

There's a pic of my mobo, the area with the red stuff around it is where I was told to plug these jobbies in at.

Question is, I filled them up and I have no where to plug in the two USB ports + audio port on the side of the case. It's not like I need them, I'm just curious if I have an option as to where to plug them in so those ports can receive power. If I have to sacrifice LED's for them, no big deal, I'm just trying to understand my limitations as far as where I can and can't plug stuff in to receive power. Half of these things on the mobo I'm not even sure about yet, which is why I ask here before toying around with it.

the USB ports and the audio go into the yellow box, next to it, i was wondering what happened to mines, that looks almost like my mobo.

Now, that yellow box next to it to me looked like it was set for a standard plug. I wasn't sure if I'd create problems just mixing and matching other pin-plugs of different sizes in there to receive power.

But I assume this is really where they go?? Isn't the 2nd yellow box on the other side of the first for the same thing?

I see you have the MSI K8N NEO2. Mine is the NEO4. Just so ya know...

If you can show me a pic in the manual, that'd be great.
