They closed the shop, and instead of listing it on the front page, they just marked everything as "sold out" for some reason. They have had major issues fulfilling peoples orders, including my own, so they stopped taking orders to fulfill and fix all of the orders they are backed up on. You'd be better off ordering Lutro0's items from FrozenCPU, since as of late, you won't get your order for WEEKS after you've ordered it, or it'll be messed up (like mine was) and still not have the correct items 2+ months later.

I concur with 3M mounting tape. Use it for all of my LED mounting, be it home accent lighting, computer lighting, etc.

Condensation is the least of the worries. Simply put, it won't work. Refrigerators work by removing the heat from inside and displacing it outside of the fridge, not actively cooling everything inside. Anything producing heat inside of a fridge will simply heat up the inside, and a computer is no minor heat producer. If the concept was feasible, don't you think many people would have done this by now instead of spending hundreds on water cooling and more extreme methods?

Cable extensions are cheaper, because you're obviously getting half (sometimes less) of the material. People buy extensions to save money, or if they have hardwired connections, it saves them from having to have the PSU taken apart and cables sleeved. It's also much much much easier to achieve the "curved" look with extensions (without using cable combs).

$90 is nothing. When it comes to sleeving and custom cables, $90 can sometimes be the tip of the iceberg. When you try to be cheap with modding (not just with computers), you get cheap looking results, simple as. As for using another companies cables, that all depends on the pinout. Some power supplies are straight 1 to 1, others are not, and some are a mixture. When you aren't sure what you're doing, extensions are the best choice.

Well sleeved cables hold up amazingly. But they need to be stretched taught. Loosely sleeved cables look like crap after being used. MDPC-X has the loosest weave of them all, so if they don't stretch it extremely taught (i.e. holding the sleeving down with clamps after stretching it), then it will kink at bends and just look terrible.

+12v and gnd.

They are exactly the same as ALL RGB LED strips. The only thing the IR device does cycle through the different colors and mix and match. You can do the same thing with soldering multiple wires together from each contact. Such as making pink/purple out of blue + red, like this: https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/839x629q90/197/itpg.JPG DC power is just 12V, just like a computer. Been using those RGB strips in my computers and builds for years, since they are ~$30 for a 16.4ft roll vs ~$15+ for small sections of it from some company stealing your money.

What are you all talking about? LED strips all have copper contacts on them. Just solder a wire to the +12V and whichever color you want for ground, and you're done. Crimp on molex ends, put into a connector, done. https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/5/rxa4.jpg

Single color LED rolls are also cheaper for obvious reasons. I used an entire 16.4ft roll for under my desk, behind my TV, inside of my computer, and still have a few feet left over. You can use them for any application so long as you know how to solder. The adhesive sucks on pretty much all LED stripping though, so I generally get a big roll of scotch molding tape.

LED's are better than cathodes, simply put. You can buy a huge 16.4ft roll of multicolor LED's for ~$20 and solder up wires to them for whatever color(s) you want.

You can run motherboards off cardboard and wooden desks, so yes, the PSU is the ground. If the case acted as the ground, any static that would hit the case would short the motherboard.

If you're going as far as painting the components, don't forget to invest in sleeved wires

Would be better to use molex to 3 pin adapters so you do not risk burning out a fan header on your motherboard. Some motherboards can output more amperage on fan headers than others, it just depends, a certain fans require more amperage than others. Molex to 3 pin just to be safe.

As lutro0 said. During the daytime, you'll be able to see the color of the sleeving, but at night time, the lighting will wash out the colors and it'll look some shade of gray.
