The front air intakes have "fins" that extend more-or-less horizontal then
turn downward, effectively blocking line of sight to fans behind it.
Given bright enough LEDs a bit of light will reflect off the bottom of one
fin to the top of the one below it, but it would be a very subtle effect
probably not even visable except with dim or no room lighting.
I can't be certain but suspect that there's enough room behind the front
bezel to mount a cold catholde light if you really need lighted front. I
don't recall the available height though, you might need a light that's
shorter than many sold at computer oriented websites, like 8-9" max
height.
