I just wired up my computer desk with 300 leds connected to a controller and an IR remote that can produce any color you want.  You can also program them to flash, fade in and out, etc.  I got this from Banggood.com for $15.00 US and free shipping!!!
These are smd leds mounted in a strip that is 5 meters long.  The IR remote even came with a battery installed!  Very cool lighting effects can be had with this set-up.  I may make a video of it going through the different settings if anyone is interested.  I can't believe how cheap this is.....if I just wanted a few smd leds and paid shipping, it would cost more than this entire kit.  I am very pleased with this.

Thanks.  The effects look much better in person.  Excellent for creating a mood.

This a link to a short video I made of the LEDs illuminated.  The glow shows up pretty well in the video but looks better in person.  This looks really cool.
