i bought some Bitfenix alchemy and it came in the mail yesterday, so today it just decided to loose its 3M adhesive grip and just fall from the roof of my case to the bottom. i got very mad because i know how bad the adhesive on lighting cables are and thought bitfenix had the best. how do i make the adhesive not loose its grip, right now i put scotch tape throughout the cable but thats not a good solution to the problem. is it the heat in my case since i have a windforce card? 

Space Journal #1: So Apparently i  was dropped on the moon like i'm a mars rover, in a matter of hours i have found the transformers on the dark side of the moon. Turns out its not that dark since dem robots are filled with lights, i waved hi to the Russians on the space station, turns out all those stories about space finding humans instead of the other way around is true(soviet Russia joke). They threw me some Heineken beer and I've been sitting staring at the people of this forum and earth since.

Try rubbing the surface off with alcohol and maybe scratch it up a bit with some sandpaper

i put it on the surface after cleaning it with alcohol, and the top ceiling didn't have any dust or anything else to begin with.

How bright are they, can you hook them up without a switch to a simple molex connector? I ask because I want to get some lighting but just want it always on and not to have a bunch of wires and switches and crap.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.
