Lighting solution that fits in/replaces fans in case fan slots?

As I rebuild my PC I realised I no longer need any case fans - apart from the (really silent) GPU and CPU fans I no longer need the 4+1 (small+top large) fans in my case - I only use SSDs and don't overclock so there is not much heat to push, I hate to always have to clean dust filters, they waste energy and add more noise.

The one thing I liked about them is their glowing. Could you recommend solutions to effectively fill their space with some lights? I only found LED strips but they seem to be difficult to install to fan positions for a novice.
 
All your CPU and GPU fans are going to do is heat up the air inside your case to the point of thermal saturation - and then they will quit cooling your components - if you run with no case fans at all... Unless you've got some kind of relatively open-air chassis.

You should really run at least one intake and exhaust. They don't have to be going full bore if noise is a problem, but you need some air movement.

If you have a really cool-running CPU, a decent top mount power supply will probably exhaust enough for it, but otherwise yeah, either a very well ventilated case (open top especially) or at least one intake and exhaust, as pb said.
