How can I jury rig a Power LED on an ATX system?

I have a PC Chips M791g Motherboard (Link) and there isn't a front panel connector for a power LED. I have the connector from the case, just nowhere to plug it in to.

EDIT: Thanks Jim.
 
Hi, You can borrow some +5 from one of the power supply 4 pin Molex connectors. You will need a resistor in the neighborhood of 150 to 200 ohms any wattage in series with the LED connector. If it doesn't light then just reverse the wires. The +5 is the Red (Pos) wire and either one of the Black (neg) wires in the plug. Luck, Jim
