I'm wondering is there anything that can make RGB strips like the light in the ll120 or the nzxt kracken a diffuser or the like

You'll need some diffusers for something to give it a soft glow without any harsh bright spots a opal or opaque diffuser would be best.

These are similar but have a more frosted look than a solid white for the diffuser.

Depending on how you've mounted your LED strips, you could either add a modifier to the LED strips (whether that be a product as linked above, or cutting a strip of translucent opal acrylic and mounting it over your led strip somehow) or you could make a sort of light-box (have a look at some of these pictures of my build to get an idea). The former is probably much easier to achieve, but it depends what you're going for. Just keep in mind that adding a diffuser to your LED strips will dim them quite substantially, so just keep that in mind.

Thanks but not really what I'm after, I'm wanting to emulate the look of the nzxt kracken or the light loop on the Corsair LL series
