Can I connect the UV LED Strip to my PC Molex Connector?

I'm interested in the UV strip lights. I see it's 12v- can I connect this to my pc Molex connector? The round connector I see in the pics doesn't look compatible. 

Though the realUV™ LED Strip Lights are not specifically designed for use with Molex connectors, there appear to be several compatible third-party connectors available online.

So long as the power supply can afford 4.5 watts of 12V power per foot of connected realUV™ LED Strip Lights, the computer should be able to fully power the product.

If not for computers, what are these used for?

The realUV™ LED Strip Lights have many applications, including use with fluorescent photography installations, as well as curing processes (such as cyanotypes), and more. Several customers have also let us know that these have been installed within their own computer cases for the fluorescent effect.

I read that it can be cut. Can you reuse the cut end? or is that discarded?

The LED strip lights can be cut to length using a pair of scissors. Cut sections can be reconnected using various connectors, such as PN 3070 and PN 3071. For additional details, we would recommend referencing our LayoutMaps diagrams, which can be found below:

In your case, if you are looking to use your PC's built-in 12-volt power source, you would not need the 12-volt power supply pictured in our diagrams, and connect the Molex 12-volt output directly to the LED strip ends.
