Powering 12v LED systems from PC ?

[Rikki]

Hi folks

Been on a bit of an IKEA craze and bought some LED lighting including this :

It runs off a 12v converter box and since I want to have it run when the PC is on would I be ok running it from one of the molex 12v lines designed for an old PATA DVD drive or is this "a bad idea (TM)"

Thanks

R.

Yes that would be totally fine. I have my keyboard custom RGB led strip running off my PSU 12v for the very same only wanting it on when my pc is on reason.
