Lighting an SG01

What do you think would be the best way to go about lighting an SG01. I'm doing my first mod that will include lighting. Because there is virtually no space for any type of tube, I am thinking of using a cold cathode fan in the spot at the top OR replacing my HSF with a cold cathode variety. Up top would probably get the most light spread as the HSF light would be partially blocked by the video card. Or I could just go for broke and go with lights in both spots.

Either way, I'll probably tuck the cathode inverter in the empty bottom 5.25" bay. Wiring will be meticulously sleeved and run so they can't be seen (or as best as possible).

Suggestions?

Thanks

For my SG01, it was the first time at lighting for me and I did two simple things. I got a power supply with factory lighting and UV cables; Ultra X2-Connect 550W. On top of that I slipped in a blue cold cathode. I am pleased with the look, but these are just some ideas for a start. Posting pics in the gallery is on my todo list.
 
run it from front to back. Its pretty easy and looks good even if you do not have the windowed SG01
 
It looks like a cold cathode tube should be able to fit under the center support or am I wrong?

All of this may be moot however, I will probably be going with a MicroFly if Steeeve can get me one.
