sorry guys, for not replying, but I found what I was looking for ...
the button is momentary ON, the actual mushroom head is 60mm in diameter ...
here's the link:

the part number is: 8 LP2T B6164, they also have a metalic version which I don't think I want to get (I think black plastic would look better), the part for metalic version is: 8 LM2T B6164
As for the cover, I am looking for something similar to this:

this is what it looks like when installed:

the cover is 70USD which I don't think is worth that much money ...
as for the military switches, I was thinking of getting 4 of them to control lights ...

this is the top of the case ...

I was also thinking of making the reset button a keylock and put it where my current power button is, this is the lock I want to use

NOW ... here comes the tricky part ... this is where I need help of electrical engineers and such ...
I want to have 3 4" cathodes on each side of my front panel underneath it and dremel "slits" of where lights will shine through ... I need/want a circuit that will slowly raise the voltage on the bottom lamps (it will look like a rising beam if you know what I mean), then as soon as the bottom ones light completely up, have the same done to the middle lamps, and then the third ... the bottom 2 on each side will be green and the top ones will be red ... sort of like a status "bar" ... and if possible to have a "timer" (can be on a PCB or anywhere, doesn't need to be easy adjustible), maybe also have a "buzzer" that will "buzz" 3 times when the lights are completely on ... (maybe stick a strobe light inside?)
BTW, my case is Lian-Li PC75 ...
