Well, i do not have any sort of experience in these stuff but i can tell that these strips can be used for desktops...you can either use a 12 or 9 v battery or a old molex connecter from a broken device or component wire and attach it to the psu's molex .... a molex connector will be good looking... if power rating or sorta mentioned on the strip then you should take a look at that cuz that may real help full also for more safety you can add a 5 amp (i think so but not confirmed) fuse to the strip (just for safety ......
happy to help if it was really help but i do think that ull know this before ... so

I read about the use of fuse in an old thread by rakesh sharma Anyways, can you please mention any reason for why do you think these strips CAN be used in PC or have any clue about their amperage?

What make you think they CAN'T ? and yes i said i don't really have a clue on the amps they use ... you can either ask the person from which you are buying or it will be given on the strip or the pack itself or you can also consult a bike repair shop for that. or just tell me how would those bike get the power for the strip they may use tthe 12 or 9v battery or a direct source from the bike battery it self.. that's why i think they CAN be used !I read about the use of fuse in an old thread by rakesh sharma

You can buy NZXT LED strips for PC lighting but don't use any other strips as they might start a fire in your PC. There are 2 different sizes available below.OK.

Don't risk your PC for lighting up your PC buddy.Professionally made and assembled ones are best and don't try it without knowing everything about LED Lighting of your PC.Chill.OK.
Anyways here is a modder from Kolkata and his modding Link:*www.erodov.com/forums/kustom-pc-mawds-introducing-x-connect-led-lighting-your-computers/62247.html

Why bump an old trhead? you could have PMd me. Anyways, you can check my post here: Show Off Your Cable Management | Page 24 | TechEnclave - Indian Technology Forum
> Seriously? What do you mean by 'Professionally made and assembled'? Be exact.
> In English, you insert a space between full stop and the next word. The first alphabet of the word just after a full stop is capital. Additionally, what does this OK at end of your every sentence mean?
> Stop posting just for the sake of posting. post only if you know what are you talking about.
> No offense, but this thinking (in you post) is why Ferrari, Porsche, BMW are successful in charging people additional 200 pounds just for painting brake calibers red instead of yellow.

>I am not posting for the sake of posting as I love my PC and you are a fellow TDFian who needs to be warned before you do damage to your PC.I felt concerned when you said about LED strip modding.

PS: While installing my 1st PC last year I broke 1 RAM slot cover and my MB Bios got corrupted as it did not recognize my USB KB+Mouse.Its best left to the professionals(hardware part) and the software part we can handle can't we?

I repeat: what exactly do you mean by 'professionally made'? For you answer, it seems you just mean branded items.

The answer is in your question only buddy. Why take a risk when you can get them and I think they even give warranty also.

Well, I think we should end now. I've been using it for 4 months and Mr. Rakesh Sharma (whome I got it from) himself used for a quite long time. I can safely say that it is perfectly safe if you include a fast blow fuse.
