You might be waiting a long time because people were already jamming cold cathode tubes into their PCs 25 years ago before LEDs got popular.
Back when Voodoo cards were popular my local computer store was selling acrylic window conversion kits where you'd need a Dremel to install it, with a rubber gasket, cold cathode and driver. In like, 1999. We've been doing this for a while.
Haha I remember those days. Every super hardcore case modding nerd was taking a Dremel to their side panels for more fan space and places for windows. They all used those old school fan grilles screwed onto the outside.
