I seriously do not understand PC gamer obsession with light and color pollution. Unnecessary lights are so fucking obnoxious to begin with, why optionally add MORE that don’t do anything?
Like super cool looking light up PC’s. I don’t get it beyond showing off. I’m looking at my SCREEN! Not the dock or the tower. Why the fuck would I want these distracting colors flying around polluting my space?
Ridiculous. My stuff has always been minimal lights, tape over other lights, black, inconspicuous as possible. Function over looks.
I was buying a PC case and was surprised to find out it’s actually not trivial to find one without a transparent side panel.
I don’t want to see the inside of my PC, ideally it should be hidden away as much as possible. My ideal setup would be to have the tower in a separate room with cables going through a wall so that only peripherals are anywhere near my desk.
Agreed. Been through the same issue and especially last time I built a pc I noticed this. Finding basic stuff that doesn’t have unnecessary components like glass or excess lights is difficult, much less in a size/shape/configuration that functionally works for what I want to do.
The visual aesthetics pc gamers are obsessed with have steered the supply and made it literally harder for those of us that don’t care about all that.

The plus side of RGB is that you can control it at least. So set it to white or some other soft colour (or turn it off completely), which is at least an improvement over blinding blue LEDs. Of course, the software and driver support on Linux isn’t perfect.
In any case, the gaudy stuff sells, so that’s how they advertise it.

There’s a massive difference between rainbow vomit RGB and using a more tasteful soft colors pallette. Ultimately just do what pleases you though! It’s your shit, if you bought 16.8 million colors you’re free to use every last one lol.
