Easiest way to light up some translucent buttons
drventure:
If you just want em lit, I'd probably look at LED Christmas lights, they'll be wired, safe and all you have to do it plug them into a powerstrip.
Necro:
For no soldering, buy lighted buttons - easiest way. If you want to light something you have, I recommend the under-button lights from Paradise Arcade. They're bright as hell, but the work well and aren't too difficult to solder (hell, I did it).

Quickest? Probably a standard drop-in florescent tube light fixture.
Necro:
That's actually a good point. If you just want everything lit, use a few CFL's... would do a decent job.
BobA:
Sounds easy but use foam strips inside the CP and around the monitor to prevent the light from leaking and showing all the panel tolerances.
