I'm building a computer, and I want to add LED lighting to the case.
However, here in Finland, LED strips are too expensive, and I found this: http://www.tinydeal.com/15w-360lm-6000k-60cm-12v-flexible-led-strip-lamp---green-light-p-107477.html
It's cheap, and it would be excellent for me, but I'm not sure if it's possible to cut it into smaller pieces. It's waterproof, so it has a silicone coating, but that can be peeled off.
Does it have soldering points? I'd rather not order a 5M strip, if I didn't have to. Or if I have to, can I cut this into smaller pieces? http://www.tinydeal.com/dc-12v-24w-300-x-3528-smd-blue-led-flexible-strip-lamp-p-93945.html
Answer
What you want is a strip that has clearly-delineated connections between segments such as those that the LED strips that Sparkfun sells has. This way you can be sure that the segments are individually usable.

Strip with individually-addressable LEDs (Sparkfun product 12027):
