Back plates are usually proprietary. Addtronics sells parts for their cases:
parts. LEDs are available at Radio Shack, or look around for old AT cases and reuse those LEDs. Note that you can use an AT case reset switch as an ATX power switch.

I meant the ATX standard backplate... the whole thing, for the pci/isa/etc and the I/O pannel.

And I meant the connectors for the LED/power.. ie, where it connects on the motherboard.

Thanks for the addtronics site, that helps a good bit.

If you can find old AT cases...the LEDs are wired with 2 pin connectors to plug into the motherboard. I could probably round up a few...email me.

Look in the accessories section of the PC Power & Cooling website. They sell I/O covers and other unique things.
