Well, I personally like the smooth minimalist look. So I would lean toward power and reset buttons on the left hand side edge of the fascia and usb/audio/firewire on the right so they arent visible on the front of the case.
(sorry for the dodgy paint images, had i been at work i would have used Co-Create
)
Its difficult to envisage the vented panels with these drawings which dont show the perforations.
On the other hand, I could go with white power and hdd LEDS and silver buttons to match the silver paint areas.
However, a little voice is calling to me and its saying 'pimp it, pimp it'. In which case, I would use the latter but use coloured LEDS, red and or blue CCFLs behind the vents (i have two of each lying around), and some LED effects or a LCD across between the floppy and lower vent.......
