I have one, and it is an LED. But you might be able to dim it a little by reducing the current with a small resistor (probably <20 ohms). Too high a value and it won't light at all.

Aside from that, I think the LED is somewhat recessed into the case. You might be able to cut a small, circular piece of dark colored plastic to fit over it, while still remaining flush with the case.

The blue light on the front panel that indicates that the computer is
"on" looks like a flashlight on my machine.  Don't know if it is the
motherboard or what, but I was wondering if anyone had put a resistor
in the circuit to dim the light.  It looks like a blue flashlight is
shining in my living room when the lights are out and blinds me
everytime I walk by it. (it is at eye level in the rack)

If noone has, I will bust out my DMM and measure the values and post
back what I did to fix it.  I hope that it can be dimmed and is not an
LED that only allows one brightness. Just hoping someone else had
already done this so I could just go get a resistor and be done with
it.
