I am looking to build a custom case but i am a bit lost on where i would find some of the parts im feeling i would want...no im not talking about MOBOs and ram and stuff im talking about.... does anyone know of a company that sells parts such as maybe a front panel that would include all the items you would see on a computer case(power/reset, usb ports, hdleds. etc). maybe something that was ment to fit into a drive slot or something so i could just punch 1 hole instead of a bunch of small holes?

I looked around on caselabs and while i found some items im looking for like power and reset buttons i didnt realy see anything llike what i am thinking... I think what I may do is just find a case that has a good front I/O set up and just carve it out as one big block to add to my case thnx for the recomendation though.

I would get a multi-function front panel. There are plenty of manufacturers that make these. You'll just have to do a bit of searching.

 

Here's one with USB 3.0 and HD Audio ports:

Here's another with USB 3.0 and multi-card readers, but no HD Audio:

I've even seen some with integrated fan controllers and power/reset buttons, though I would prefer to have both of those things separate myself.

 

Here's one from Lian-Li with USB 3.0 and power/reset buttons:

For the power and reset buttons, you can get a couple of Delrin anti-vandal style switches and drill out holes to fit them:

And I would suggest getting a motherboard tray from Mountain Mods or a similar manufacturer. It'll be easier to integrate into your build than having to build one from scratch:
