Need help knowing what wires and switches/buttons to use in order to attach the reset and power buttons to the motherboard. I would also like shops where the connecting wires and switches could be bought.

the buttons and wiring are pretty simple, you could try using the existing wires and just change the buttons, or leave the buttons alone and just move theem to whever it is you want them, most of the time the wires will reach but sometimes not. Its just a matter of what you want the buttons to do (light up, strobe, not ligh up whatever). Start with the existing and if you need to modify them Radio Shack is gonna be the best to go for specifics. or at least let you know what you need.

Consult the motherboard handbook for wiring the switches, if they have LED and don't work, swap the polarity.
I use Novatech for my bits, just do a google search.

Try local independent computer shops, they may have some old spares lying about that might work for you.
