Non-Molex LED case lights?

yippy3000

  I am looking for some while LED case lights that I can turn on and off without unplugging them.  I don't need color changing or dim-able.

 

The catch is, everything I can find is Molex.  I would really like something that uses SATA power, 3-pin fan or motherboard USB so that I can keep it completely inside my case.

 

Bonus: I can get it off of Amazon.com

I personally think they suck compared to the ones that I make for my systems. the ones I make are similar to Phanteks RGB case Lights. the only thing I like about them is that they come with an on/off switch.

the only difference between these and mine are that I sleeve the whole thing the same color as the PC and I also use Molex connector Instead of fan Headers.

They work just as good as my BitPhoenix leds

I purchased on of the strips form NZXT about a year ago and I have yet to put them in a system because I don't like the way the LED juts out of the sleeveing an looks like Christmas lights 

 

I purchase the 16 foot/5M Led lights and just add the connector I like it usually cost me about $3.00 to make 1 strip for a PC, but its a personal preference.

there are the parts you need to make your own. ( you don really need the crimping tool but you will need a wire stripper)
