Kind of a dumb question but where does everyone get the LED strips that they put on the inside of their cases.

I looked on a few sites that I got parts from but didnt see anything. :confused:
 
NZXT Sleeved LED kit
I own two of these, and my brother and our friend also owns some as well. We all love them. I've actually intended to post a mini review of them here on the forums but never get around to them. Let me quick tell you my experience with them.
They are incredibly bright, and have 3 levels of brightness that can be controlled from the back of your case, along with a power button. This is done by a small pcb that is mounted on one of your pci slots, but it does not actually go into any of the motherboard slots themselves, it uses the edge to balance itself, but that is not required.
Comes with, in my experience, enough clips with a sticky side that you will have some left over when you are done. These are attached to the case and the LED strip slides into it, this is how the strip is mounted in the case.
I have used products similar to what shawn linked to, those are incredibly dim and inferior to the NZXT product. I basically give those away as gifts because they are worthless to me now.
Also, short note on NZXT customer service, which I thought was great for such a small request. The LED kit is modular in design, and smartly so. There is the pcb bracket, the led sleeve, and the power plug (molex). They can all be separated from each other into three pieces. When I went to remove the power plug at one point, I accidentally tugged on the wires instead of the plastic molex connector, ripping a wire out. I discovered this when it wouldn't turn on after I finished whatever I was doing. I emailed NZXT, told them exactly what I did, and asked how much it would cost for a replacement part. They emailed me back asking for my receipt and address. I sent them that, and received the part for free in the mail a few days later. Not sure you can expect customer service like that for any other LED product :)
I think the price is fair and good too, and worth it compared to the other options. And just in case you are wondering, I own the blue 24" and green 24" kits.
 
yea i think i like cathodes better as well seems it would be brighter
