I have almost finished my Fortress build, I have replaced the exhaust fan and CPU cooler fans with Xigmatec LED fans and want to add a couple of cold cathode tubes.
I have seen some great looking Fortress build, so could one of you experts tell me the best place to put a couple of cold cathode tubes so they are discrete and also give the best illumination.
 
photos!!! :p

Never owned a Fortress, but for most cases puting a ccfl at the bottom behind the lip the side panel clips onto and then another running up either the back panel or the 5.25" cage seems to work pretty well :) I have one running accross the top behind the lip there and that works well, though the bottom of my case gets no UV light :(
 
If anyone is considering using cold cathode tubes with the Fortress, make sure you do not buy the 12" ones as there is not enough length along the bottom of the case, because of the hard drive cage and you cannot fit them up the sides or on top.
