I though about those, but since it goes into a pci slot, I ruled them out.

If that bothers you, you don't have to put the thing in the pci slot, You can run it from behind the motherboard tray and just hide it there. It's only so you can easily change the brightness and turn them on and off, which I never mess with anyways.

put them on the side panel or along the edges of the case

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only a GTX 1080, just a single 1080, where my glorious PC once stood....

For that is all I need, For the Emperor of Man, Jen-Hsun Huang, protects. We march for Nvidia, and we shall know no fear!

I meant more of a product suggestion.

I used nzxt brand led strips, works perfect for my case and they look great. They sell 1m length if your case is small, I had to use 2m and it was just barely enough for my full size case around the edges.

Well nobody sells invisible LEDs so you will just have to hide them :P

Sarcasm aside brand means little with LEDs. Just look at specs you will need (like color and length).

But you could just put it into the bottom pci slot. You know the one that nobody ever uses.

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III
