So right now I have nothing inside my case to light it up and I really wanted an NZXT hue but in Sweden (The biggest rip-off place) it is 65 fucking USD. Are there any alternative LEDs that I can add for cheaper because thats just insane.

Any LED strip, which uses 12V power is able to be modified to work in a computer without difficulty. That is what I did in my personal rig. I used cheap Chinese car LED strips and they work perfectly (almost 24/7 for 5 months).  :)

I had my LED custom made by IceModz.com. Linus has got an really old video reviewing them but they'v gotten a lot better since. IceModz also got remote controlled RGB for PC's

 

And last but not least: IceModz is quality all the way and has great customer service

This. Bitfenix, NZXT, etc. just use cheap LED stripping and rebrand it under their name, then charge a huge premium. You can generally find better LED rolls/strips on amazon and the sort for a fraction of the cost, and the brightness and LED count will higher.
