Any LED, which uses 12V power can easily be used in a computer just by connecting it to a molex connector. Buy whatever fits in your budget. Other than that, the Bitfenix Alchemy is a nice option too, but somewhat more expensive compared to regular LED strips.

I'd highly recommend buying a not-made-for-PC LED strip and wiring it yourself. You get much, much more for less (5 meters for $15 as opposed to 60cm for $30), and they're not hard at all to wire. You can cut them to the size you need, and all they take (connection wise) is a ground and a 12v, which you can easily solder to a 4pin molex.

Another added benefit is that there's usually a much better variety of colors. For instance, for an upcoming mITX build, I want purple lighting, but I can't find any good purple LED light strips, so I'm going with this: http://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Flexible-Light-Strip-Purple/dp/B00AAP8TQ2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391105782&sr=8-1&keywords=purple+LED+strip

Some of these. 5050's are comparable to the bright Bitfenix brand.
