Not sure on this. I knew I would have to solve this problem at some point 
and was hoping I could tie into the main board somewhere to draw power.

Opposite the tube side would be best, was planning to mount the board 
inside and have the tubes stick up through holes in a decorative case.

For the colons, I was thinking of having them flash like option c.) below. 
 I have not decided on a particular part for the colon. However these would 
be my first option, allspectrum.com INS-1

That would be great, on the underside with the connector if possible.

Yes.

Not sure, I believe so? See threeneuron's part listing below:

The recommended is fine. I had figured this would be the last priority in 
my design. The colons would probably require more space, not exactly sure 
yet.

4, one in each corner would be fine. No specific dims, just as small as 
practical. 

I will be able to give more intelligent answers to the these questions 
later, just wanted to get back to you tonight.
