Update 9:__________________________________________
I worked alot on the front panel yesterday and today and had it perfect (or so i thought)
Apparently there is some kind of contact between the blue LED and the power switch wires so when they are both plugged in, something shorts and the computer thinks im pushing the power button.

I burned out the original green LED, so i found another green LED out of a case and used that.

Originally i planned to use the green LED for as the power LED and the blue one for HDD use, or just have both as power leds. The blue LED is fairly particular and wouldnt illuminate when i spliced both sets of wires, or when i hooked it up to the HDD leads on the mobo. Now i have the blue on as power and green as HDD.

Picked up this little soldering gun for $20 so i could have more precision in soldering the panel. Worked great after i put my own batteries in it.

My dad got me a hole bit or whatever for the fan port. 4in in diameter and exactly in the center of the space below the PS2 logo.
