    That is your WiFi card. The wires go to antennas mounted to the case. If you use WiFi you will want to move the card, wires and antennas to the new case. If you don't use WiFi you can just remove the card.

    As @Billsey mentioned, those two wires are for antennas of the Wi-Fi card.

    I am just curious how you are going to deal with the front panel ports. Those front panel ports are soldered to the motherboard, and is usually the biggest problem when trying to migrate the motherboard to a different PC case.

    If there  is space between the edge of the diving board and the front of the new case I believe you can find cables that go from male to female USB to provide the sockets in the front of the case. You will likely end up with cables bundled up into a ball, but they should work. :)
