I suppose it is good to have at least 2 LEDs, a red and a green, each with a 220R 220Ω resistor in series. turning on the PSU can be done with a SPDT switch, that is: ''on1 - on2.''* red LED is between ''on1 '' and purple (standby 5V)* green LED is between on2 and grey (power OK) and ''on2'' (or GND, for that matter)* green cable is soldered onto ''on2''
* middle point of the SPDT switch is on GND
* when PSU is on mains and switched off, the red LED is on
* when flipping the switch, PSU turns on ; after about a second the green LED lights, indicating all is good.
 
I feel like wasting time, so here's some crappy ASCII art for this:
 
green-----------------
(grn) |
grey----R----|>|--o o--------ON2
| / ←{ this here is the SPDT switch }
GND---------------o--------o/
(red)
purple--R----|>|--------------ON1
