I don't know about this case in particular, but it should use standard 3mm or 5mm LEDs. Your mainboard is probably giving them 2v, which means than many blue led wont shine as brighly as they could, but it should be plenty.

I moded my cade to blue (power) and red (hdd, I would like white but couldn't find any :( ), both high brightness, looks really good.

i just used those blue 5mm ones (forget the voltage) at radio shack. took a lil drill bit to slightly widen the holes and is running fine.

LEDs are very tough, I've seen LEDs run at over 2x rated voltage for 6+ months without any problems.

yeah the antec sx1030 is a 3mm

but you can use a drill and widen the hole to accomodate a 5mm blue led
