I really could care less what it looks like. It just needs to be functional/practicle

I like some of it, but not everything. Customizable is good, but if it’s all preloaded and unmodifiable then it’s more a mockery of self-expression, isn’t it?

I don’t care much about my case and the internals but you can pry my flowing; gradient; pink, purple, and blue-lit peripherals, with gold ripples after a key or mouse click, from my dead hands. It’s the little things that make me not want to eject out of my chair when dealing with work shit. I feel like a golden bi wizard when I’m at my desk

I like the stuff because my kinds like all the rainbow effects. Normally while working or gaming I will set the effects to be off though.

Flame decal 🔥🔥🔥 I thought it was cool 10 years ago, Now my actual setup is black and blue light

Just purchased a new PC and was surprised it didn’t play Donna Summer when I first booted it up.

I think a lot of these designs probably appeal to the early teen demographic who are begging their parents for their first gaming computer. My tower has one glass side because I like being able to see my components, but I didnt find any RGB necessary. Some of the colorful see through cases are quite pretty when arranged. I don’t understand why mice have to look like bionicles though.

I was riding the first RGB bling bling wave back in the early 2ks and after a while I got sooooooooooooo annoyed by every light my PC emitted.

Same today.

I give a frog about RGB and when I bought my actual PCs back in early 2024 I used an old Chieftec case I had standing around for the first and bought a cheap case of Amazon that has no glass.

Both stand in a way that air can circulate and the PC stays cool, but light is blocked.

I would like it if it was subtle, maybe a few thin rgb lines around the main board like traces, and something similar on other components.

I hate the everything blaring random lights look, its like a kids attempt to draw attention, it works but when you look you wish you hadn’t.

My gaming pc lives in a soundproof cupboard 5m away without a case because quietness is more important to me than any visual element, so any RGB thing gets avoided, or turned off.

I can appreciate a very colour coordinated and well put together “gaming” computer in a purely aesthetic sense. Some are genuinely pretty and I get that some folk take a lot of pleasure out of making something that looks beautiful and best of luck to them. But I’m not one of them.

On a personal level, I don’t like the see through towers or really basically any RGB. I have a keyboard that has RGB and if I could turn it off while also being able to see the keys properly, I would turn it off. It’s currently at the lowest setting I can do it and still see the keys.

Also not a fan of the super fancy schmancy gaming mice because I’m a firm believer trackball mice are superior.

No opinion on gaming headsets other than the ones with the attached mic are stupid looking. Design of headphones and such are slightly less important to me than the sound quality, so I can let some dumb designs slide if the quality is fantastic.

nope

The wonders of marketing making people believe that RGB vomit is desirable.

The only LED i care about is white.

My gaming computer is in an old 4 unit rack mount server case. I think there is some sort of RGB nonsense on the motherboard, but you can’t see it once the computer is racked.

Fuck RGB shit.

I’m over 30, but even when i was in my early 20s I couldn’t stand the blaring lights. A HS friend built up a rig with full flashy RGB shit and I was like “why?” - He thought it was cool, possibly still does.

I mean, I’m supposed to look at the monitor, not the fan or the mouse. Keyboard blacklight is good, tho, so long as it’s not red nor a dancing rainbow. Yellow or white are the best kb backlight imo
