The faders are OKEY. Didn't spend so much time searching for good faders... I would suggest some other brands... but they are allright. Quiet stable faders.
The LEDs will light up when the button/s are pushed. So I just solder some resistors to the LEDs and connect the LEDs between GND and 5V from the USB.
I'm in Stockholm, Sweden. But maybe I could help you with laser cuttings. What material? PM me if you're intrested.

Why buy something, when you can build it yourself for the double cost?

ah cool - I might buy a few different types of faders before I choose one then...
I'm in the UK by the way... I'm looking to get a piece of 2mm thick metal (aluminium/steel/zintec?) laser cut... dimensions would be roughly 800x500mm.. no complex shapes (just squares and circles)... I'm just preparing a sketch in photoshop at the moment.

@oskars: Just a note when sanding those. Make sure you use a block when sanding otherwise it won't be uniform and will be wavy
@MiL0: Check out alps faders. High quality stuff

I bought Alps faders from Ebay, they're pretty good quality but cost about 6 quid a pop.

Thanks everyone for your kind words!
Another (small) photo update!
I have cut out the base plate! Looking good I will paint it black!
Doing some solder job I'm not such a good solderer... But it will work
