you can buy 12 volt led strips from a store near you but then you will need to hook it up yourself on the power supply.
what i mean is you buy the led strip only it comes in 5 meter rolls but you can buy less if you want.you will need to solder a molex conector on the ends.it will require some time but the result will be cool you can mod it any way you like.

i bought a 5 meter roll 5 euro per meter and i have it running for one year all leds work fine.you wont need a extra power block you can just use power from your power supply it works perfectly.did it to mu frien and aded a switch as well.no need to add extra blocks when you arleady have one.((psu) yelow 12 v black ground).
there are difrend types low power and high power watterproof.
