Cheap led light strips

I am looking to rig up a couple of blue led light strips behind my tv, however I dont want to spend much cash, I came across these, has anyone diy`ed these, see link below:

Extra Value 12" Blue Dual Cold Cathode Kit - Ebuyer

I think the only extra you would need would be a transformer.

I have put these all over my home cinema, behind speakers etc. All you need is a Doll's House transformer, which steps mains voltage down to 12v. (or us any other 12v DC transformer - I have one with a dimmer on!) Then cut off the wierd computer connections, and connect the two wires up either way round (lights have no polarity - work either way) to the 12v supply. They look amazing.
