I am currently modding my CM Centurion 5 case, adding a side window and white Cold Cathodes. My question is how could i go about adding a custom toggle switch to the front panel of the case for easier ON/OFF abilities.
 
I'm actually planning to do the same thing to my CM5. I'll be using Rocker switches for the front panel, to be connected to an internal CCFL kit.

I don't know about yours, but my CCFL kit comes with a switch that gets tied into the back panel PCI Bracket. All I'd have to do is take the two wires that lead into the existing switch, remove them, and then resolder them to the rocker switch.

And to attach the new switch to the case, I've found a drill bit in the appropriate size would work, or a pair of tin snips and a few minutes with a good half round file. (Since the front is mesh...)

Thanks for that tip. I looked again with the kit that I have ordered, it does have that rocker switch in for the back panel as you stated, so this well help a lot. Thanks.
 
Cannot add much to BlackTigers' post. Pretty much what I was going to say verbatim.
