I can buy the slimline pretty easily as I build computers for a few offices in the area, I could just give them my drive and pay the difference. I thought of that and looked on newegg, the slim drives were all made for laptops and didn't use the same kind of power cable. USB it is.

You can get the laptop slimline --> IDE converters, but why bother when there is USB lol.

I would say to use screws wherever you can, simply to allow you to pull it apart at anytime. Also if you can, a big positive will be a removable motherboard tray.

I assume you mean the RED LED's as in the HDD/Power LED activity lights? If so, you need to connect them to the F_Panel connectors.
