I would be greatly interested! Just a few days ago I did some research on how to do it with an arduino. But a ready to use product would be a great alternative!
What makes you think, that the USB-Header won't be able to deliver enough power for a blue or white LED? Don't USB devices usually consume a lot more power?

The USB header can provide enough power to a white LED. I was originally concerned about making the LED only turn on when the button is activated but then realized it's not that bad to implement.

So you mentioned the price of ~10$.
How big will the switch be in total, 20x20mm? Do you already know, when it will be available?

I don't have exact dimensions or availability information yet, sorry. It'll be smaller than 20mm x 20 mm though, more like 10 x 15 or 15 x 15.

If there are any reasonably priced Piezo switches that work with PCs, I would definitely be interested in seeing them.
Something like this for 6$?

The next step in this project is going to be comparing some of the cheaper Piezo buttons with capacitive buttons.

Just added a section in the original post to include information about some recently made slim 80 mm fans. These will be available for purchase individually and in bulk soon.

Normalmente solo veo pero no comento nada, las fuentes de la PC tienen 5vsb que funcionan incluso con la PC apagada, si pones un molex 20 atx, podría usarse y usarse en todas las PC, y uso el traductor goolge, saludos de Argentina ??

I thought it was going to be published in English but the browser published it in Spanish and I don't know how to change the comment, sorry ?
