yes you can power some LED s , use some resistors in series with the LEDs, otherwise they will burn. LEDs use 3V or 5V.

BTW, how are you planning to charge that battery?

why dont you power the LEDs via your PSU?

Yes you can, but instead of tucking the battery inside your cabby, just get 12V from one of the PSU molex pin
