Resistor is not needed as these automobile LED strips operate at 10 V themselves. Fuse is not needed but a fast-blow fuse is helpful.

I guess buy a 12v 1A adapter. Cut off that wire to expose red and black wires. Cut the power supply of the strip. connect red to red and black to black. If it contains any more then that must be the earthing which you can ignore. And you're done.

No no nooo
You just use power from PSU itself... No need adapter

I installed some leds in my system some time ago. Purchased an led strip from eBay, and a molex cable from local store. Used the yellow and black cable to connect to the strip. No soldering etc required and works quite well.

your psu will have inbuilt short circuit protection, believe me, i wantedly shorted my usb port with a har-pin and then it shut down instantly(+5v and gnd were shorted) and it didnt turn on, i removed the power plug(on the wall/ack of psu)(switching the switch off and on on the back wont work)
and it powered up...:cool:
you know the feeling when it power down...scary but everything okay as it was my 1st time that too with a brand new corsair cx430v2
