Just finished my most recent build and I've been told I need glowy crap to show off how clean and nice looking it turned out. While wandering the local (national) automotive store I came across some nice 14" self-adhering LED strips in various colors for about $10. Yes, I know DIY is cheaper, but I have a giftcard and they're... there.
Anyhow my plan was to just splice them to a 4-pin MOLEX adapter and attach them directly to my PSU, leaving them on as long as it's powered. Then I read some people had spliced them to 3-pin fan connectors successfully, but couldn't find more info. I have a 5-channel fan controller (0%-50%-100% toggle switches) and I'd love to be able to turn the lights on and off as I please.
Does anybody have experience with this? Can it be done? Should it?
