Your welcome. Just remember that if you drive the led in the switch from the motherboard led power header, make sure your voltages are compatible (voltage the led in the switch needs, voltage the motherboard header supplies). Good luck to you.

thinking this for reset switch--http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ulincos-Momentary-Push-Button-Switch-U16A1-1NO-SPST-Black-Metal-Shell-Suitabl/401206778846?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D41376%26meid%3Db6754245fb1a4fda8f15660f57d08a26%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D142456007155

and this for power switch--http://www.ebay.com/itm/momentary-pushbutton-switch-u19d1-1no-spst-black-metal-shell-with-blue-led-ring/142456016670?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D41376%26meid%3D3e2fe99269d84084b0ffe2de8dc3a6e8%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D401206778846

Yes. Nice choices. And powering the led from a molex should work fine. Although, I'd be willing to bet that led, with out the resistor, would work from the mobo header for the power led. Either way, should be slick.
