Yeah its 12v but I'd rather not do any altering of wires.

 

That adapter looks about right! Would you possibly have an amazon link for that?

 

Unfortunately Amazon doesn't seem to have them anymore but check around I could be wrong:

So at the moment I have a light strip taped to the inside of my case side panel to light up the innards of my PC. However in order to illuminate this said light strip, I have to run an AC adapter through the back of the case. Which seems kinda ghetto to me, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to where I could possibly get some sort of adapter so I could make it slightly less ghetto and just connect it directly to the power supply instead.

You can either snip off that connector and solder on a molex to what I assume is 12V or get an adapter like this:
