You know I use to shit on RGB but now that my new computer has it, it has kinda grown on me.

I thought OP was talking about component cables/scart.
That's what you get for going down a CRT Gaming rabbit hole.
Now we need standardized RGB for reactions to gameplay. Whenever I play Apex Legends my Razer keyboard reacts to what is happening in game, but my non-Razer mouse does not.
Makes sense, cheers. Hadn't come across it before as haven't been around the building community, my only context is as the model inside Photoshop and knowing how displays produce what we see.
I hate it. Not so much because I find it distracting, but because I just don't see the point of it. It has also made finding any decent case without RBG out the ass and a window to show off your fancy hardware a pain in the ass. I just want a nice big plain black pc case dammit.
There are a ton of those though. Unless there's some specific feature you need that isn't on the generic black models then you can find a plain black case no problem
I only really like RGB on my tower. But I do kinda love it i can't tell you why other than I love the look.
Cool. I will redouble my efforts when the time comes because all the towers people kept recommending were RBG out the ass with big ass windows. It made me lose hope that I could get a tower that wouldn't light up my room like motherfucking Christmas.
I'd just check the manufacturer's website. NZXT, Cooler Master, and especially Silverstone have plain cases. Also if you so end up having to settle for an RGB case just look for one that lets you turn it off.
Can someone identify what case and lighting is Dinesh using at 23s of this clip?

you should get to it soon. light strips behind your monitor/tv really improves the experience imo.

You cant even see the tower?
Slayven you talk about RGB PC but post no pictures?
What nonsense is this!
P.S I hate RGB, but even ill admit seeming a well put together RGB system looks cool.....just not for me.
Kinda like when you see a really nice gold and diamond whatever, and you can understand that it looks cool......but you know its not for you.
P.P.S The Lit cables you are talking about are strimers.....again they look cool but seriously.
Fractal Design and be Quiet! have various models for you. All their cases have the option for a metal side panel.
I'm surprised they were never recommend before. They are among the most popular brands.
It's a Maingear custom chassis for their water cooled prebuild PCs. Possibly the F131. Chassis is made by them, don't know who makes the distro plate, but you can buy similar ones from EKWB.Can someone identify what case and lighting is Dinesh using at 23s of this clip?

You need some strimers, to complete it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H4V2ZKF/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_SPN3EbGP7X7H1
And personal opinion here but I try and hone in a colorized theme. Rainbow everything makes it hard to actually see the damn rig. lol
Couple of years ago I put rainbow mode on as many things in my bedroom that had it available. I of course do not use any of the lighting this way but I wanted to see how horrifying it'd be and
Lights are pretty. I have a string of warm-white fairy lights over the window my desk sits below. At the back of the room, I have a colour cycling RGB strip running around the back outside edges of my DVD shelves. My keyboard does the whole rainbow-cycle thing, and there's a few more RGB lights twinkling through the vents in my PC case. I have a nice lamp beside the TV with a warm orangey bulb.
None of it has anything to do with gamer cred or following trends or whatever. Lights are just pretty.

Wow, thanks! That all sounds correct now that I look at some videos for the parts you mentioned. Awesome looking, and predictably expensive.

I like pretty lights. I like LED stuff in my PC too.
I remember my Grandpa thinking red power buttons on AV equipment was a big deal way back when I was little. I sometimes wonder what he would've thought of my LED lit tower, keyboard and mouse. lol
I need some LED speakers and monitor. 🤔
Holy shit! I can't tell if I'm horrified or impressed. If you could sync it up with music that could be fun as hell with some ppl.

Not a fan. It's distracting.
I have a Logitech mouse that has a giant light-up 'G' on it that cycles through different colours by default. The only way to turn off the light is by installing Logitech's software. That's super lame. And when the PC is off, any slight vibration will wake the mouse up and it'll do its disco light thing.

I admit to being horribly boring. The only light emanating from my desktop is some white branding on my EVGA GPU and a red light on my motherboard I'm too lazy to figure out how to disable.
Thanks man. I have no idea how those went under my radar. I will do a more thorough comparison later this year when I start buying parts but some of their cases look to be exactly what I was looking for.
My current PC has it (prebuilt iBuyPower rig that I added a second SSD to, a GTX 1080, some more DDR4 RAM). I can change the color with a remote or set it change at intervals. The novelty wore off after a week. Pretty cool I guess, I don't actively like or dislike it really. It's just kind of there.
Edit: it actually came with the 1080, forgot

I really like the 'echo press' function on logitech keyboards. Cant find a video but the keys change color when you press them, then slowly change back to the original color, going through all the gradients in between the colors you picked.
