Unfortunately, the seller is currently out of stock, but here's the link:

As another posted noted, you can find them in the $8-10 range, though many of those are from China/Hong Kong so you'll have to wait a bit. I was lucky and found a store in NJ so it only took a few days. Hopefully the seller I linked above will restock soon.
Here's a shot with the UMK3 marquee backed by the LED strip, just rigged this up the other day.

Just thought I'd pop back into this thread to let everyone know there's another seller with cheap LED strip lighting. I haven't bought from them, but the deal even showed up over on some of the daily-deal sites. It's a Hong Kong seller, so you have to be patient, but for this price if you're not in a rush it's a good deal, under $6 for 5 Meters of lights.

How do you connect this strip to a 12V Power supply then?
dkersten:
You cut them on the cut line with a scissors and then solder to the two copper terminals. Or you can get clip on ends that just clip over the end and convert it to a wire or 2.54mm pin.
If it is too bright, you need to use a PWM dimmer like http://www.amazon.com/LEDwholesalers-LED-Strip-Lights-Controller/dp/B003L4KKF2 which is like $3.39 shipped.. I used this exact one and it worked perfectly, I was able to dim the strips down to the perfect amount of light.
You can run it off any old 12v wall adapter or even off the 12v from your computer (yellow wire on a drive harness).
