Stealthed drives, but only when there's a fanbus and lcd right above it. The concept is make the essential invisible and the non-essential extra visible.
The only time I like UV lights is when the MB and Graphics card's traces are done with a UV pen.

You're going to hate my case then! I'll have 4 UV CCFLs, and I'm thinking about adding three 6 inch blue CCFLs to show off the PSU array. Otherwise, the case is going to be black, inside and out.

I'd agree, if it was done for that purpose, but I prefer a stealth look. It's possible to do lights, without it looking extravagant. If I wanted to make it flashy, I'd mix 6 and 12 inch CCFLs, in red, green and blue, and link some of them to the HDD activity line. Heck I'd even consider a patriotic theme, in red, white and blue, but bottom line, only my family is going to see it (and some of you, if I feel like taking a picture
)
That Nexus fan controller can really throw off the look of a case. It's too "busy" looking, for a faceplate, and makes a CD drive look plain. The color choice of the faceplates is also limited. It'd probably look best under/above one of those SB modules.
I hate to see black components in a beige case, and vice versa.
