A basic thing you could do is put one tube right at the top, against the side with the window and one on the bottom, also against the window. I forget how big the "bezel" is on the windowed panel so I'm going off the assumption that it's big enough to hide the tubes. If not hopefully someone else has a better suggestion :)

for the cables route them behind the mobo tray.

I agree with Altecice, LEDs last longer, use less power and are brighter.

Our LED strips are made to be instantly plugged into your PC.

When ordering you need to select which connector you would like to use (either a 4pin molex or a 3pin Fan) you will also need to check you have a spare connector in your PC (same type as the one you chose for the LED strip).
