Where to get 12v power for case leds?

I recently done my first build in with a tempered glass side panel, It accidentally turned into a black with white highlights color scheme (barring my ssd, I'm 3d printing a cover to remedy that later). Why not spice up and reinforce the theme with white leds?

I have some white leds strips used for store signage "borrowed" from my parents. It runs of 12v power. My power supply is the seasonic m12II, how would I go on powering this?59d0bcf4dd800_20171001_1716371.jpg.5f6dc62d5db55642ff06b3a69ca02fdd.thumb.jpg.d7433ce64c69c6d1dc7fa3a3735d561a.jpg

A solid LED strip would be better since these gives a spot light type effect with the wire spacing in between. As for power you can tap off the sata or molex for 12V which is commonly used.

Molex, Yellow wire is 12v+, black right next to it is 12v ground 

Oh nice. My power supply has all black wiring but I google the pinouts later. Thanks!
