Anybody got any links to USB powered LED strips, or any other good LED's to increase the sexyness of my setup? :P

If not USB, how are LED's generally powered?

Most of these plug into Molex connectors, which are basically the big 4 pin plugs you'll spot inside the case for stuff like your HDDs, and DVD Drives- no problem at all to install.

Ones like these however, involve a bit of wiring as far as I know, so probably a bit risky to attempt.

Stick with the LED Molex plugged ones and they'll be a cakewalk to install :)

Buy LEDs and resistors from Maplin, snip off a molex connector, solder the LEDs onto the 12v rail. Easy.
