What does this mean?

And: You can get pretty cheap lights by buying a Molex to Sata adapter, chopping it, and then soldering the 12V leads to a LED strip. I did that meself and it works like a charm.

Otherwise, look for a cheap strip on Amazon or Ebay, there should be plenty.

But why? You said you wanted white ones, right?
