First suggestion is to put at least one inside the box. if you don't
need to swap them, they will bolt right into the case or a card and
if your PC has the ribbon cable inside you can easily do this mod.

if you have an ATX motherboard, you could ger a very short cable and
lay them along the back of the case.
