As long as this is a 12 volt kit, you could try to cut open the 12 volt wires on a molex connector (Google for a molex cable diagram) and solder them onto the wires for the LED strip. I did this with a basic, single colour LED strip and it works fine, but this one looks more complex, especially because of that other white box between the output of the power supply and the LEDs themselves. I guess you could just cut the power supply off and solder the molex wires to its output cable.

Probably not for this specific kit, but something like NZXT HUE might be a good option if you don't mind spending extra money and sacrificing a 5.25" bay

Unless you want to leave it floating in your PC somewhere.. your options for RGB are not there.

 

Could just do a single color molex led strip

Yea as the others say you want to look for a Molex / Sata specific one, or... just pop that power lead out the watercooling holes on the back, failing that, pop out on the PCI covers...
