I have made a custom DIY computer case from wood but the power button I got is too big and awkward so I got a smaller one though it doesn't have a switch just a push button. I want to add on this LED button that looks quite nice and would fit well with the aesthetics of my case. The only problem is that I don't have a soldering iron and don't know how to hook them up together. Any thoughts on how to do this? Many thanks in advance! Here are the links:

If I understand what you're trying to correctly, a soldering iron is defiantly the way to go. You want solder instead of something like glue because glue won't conduct. I'd try to borrow an iron and some solder from somebody, but if you can't, cut the button for power off of the one with all of the wires, strip a generous amount of wire (but not so much that it can no longer reach the part on the motherboard obviously) and wrap is around the terminals on the new button as many tines as you can. Then put a drop of glue on each so the wire cant just fall off.
