I have a old beige box that I use to torment hardware and software. I sometimes find that I would like to have those front panel switches on the back.

I've got this: (a two-switch/two-LED kit that I will eventually mount into a blank expansion card bracket.)

However, I would still like to keep using the front switches and LEDs if possible. Do shortish 'Y' spitters for this pin pitch exist?

Can you think of any problems that I am likely to strike by piggy-backing the LEDs and switches?

Switches no problem, and the LED's just put a 220R resistor in series with the leads for the front and back LED's, so that they will at least illuminate somewhat evenly.
