Finally got round to modelling the power buttons and USB port assembly. The idea is that the main cover clips into the case panel, the PCB assembly then clips into the rear of the cover creating a power button sandwhich:The total cost of the assembly is around £16 including all the wires. The power button on the PCB has a bright white LED which I am hoping will illuminate thinned out power symbol nicely. There is also a HDD activity LED that is positioned in between the Power and reset buttons, I have created a thinned out light chamber in that area that will hopefully illuminate.I'm hoping to get this 3D printed early next week, will post photos when it is complete.Also done a bit more work on the case taking into account the temperature and noise testing of last week. The design below is configured with a 120mm x 15mm side intake fan and a 120mm dust filter that sits flush with the case:
