I'm in the 'design phase' of building a PC desk case.

 

I plan on using all of my current hardware so the guts of the unit are all ready to go.  The part I'm needing help with are things like the front power panel, USB ports, etc.  Been looking around online, but I guess I'm not using the right keywords in my Google search.  Anyone have some decent places to get some of those accessory parts?

There are several options. You can look for chassis mount pass through connectors  for things like data connectors. Or you can look at an active hub to pass through. Any old switch for reset or power. 

 

Digikey is one of the largest electronic components suppliers in the world. They have everything from a capacitor smaller than a hair or electrical connectors that could be used for such a project.

 

Sparkfun might have what you need and their website is a lot easier to use for the uninitiated.
