USB cable length?
ShinAce:
USB is expected to supply something like 100mA per port.
If you want more than a watt, use a relay.

It looks like it should be able to pull off what I want it to do then. I'm going to try tapping LEDs off the USB for my CP. I know this has been done before, but I am going to be running quite a few and wanted to be able to run the numbers.
I have been working on the plans a lot more lately, and I think I will only need to splice the cable in one point. And even then, I may be able to wire it directly to the PCB instead of just mid-wire.
Thanks for the help everyone! I am now much more confident in moving forward with my project! ;D

well make sure to post some pics
i'd like to see it when you're done
Tahnok:
Well, the lighting won't be done until I can get some transparent buttons. I'm hoping those transparent buttons come through so I can get a few of those.
rdagger:
You can definitely push the USB length a little.
