I don't really prefer it. I just buy gaming mice because they have more buttons and disable the RGB.

My case is all black, but almost everything these days ships with RGB if itβs a modern gaming part. I set them to the lowest brightness at a dark purple so it barely shows. Anything more than that is too distracting for me.
Just purchased a new PC and was surprised it didn't play Donna Summer when I first booted it up.
I really could care less what it looks like. It just needs to be functional/practicle
I don't really like it, but sometimes those types of cases are the only good ones with radiator clearance in a relatively small footprint.
I still miss this one, it was all metal and very close to an Apple G5 case, minus the compatibility issues.
Unfortunately, this case also couldn't support radiators in any meaningful capacity, so I had to sell it. Currently using a Lian li case that I dislike, but it has damn good radiator support, and my PC is now completely silent.
I think a lot of people like the customization that rainbow RGB more than anything else.
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 like my stuff hidden anyway so I don't care all to much. I disable leds usually because they are distracting but keep one solid led to indicate whether the system is on or not.
Yes, though not to the extreme.
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?
Some like it and some dislike it. A lot of it can be changed or turned off anyway, so most just pick what they like.
Then there are the RBG-phobes. They talk about it like it's the devils work and seemingly get upset if other people have it in the privacy of their own home.
Personally I donβt care for the trend that is RGB EvReyWhERe!!1!1! MoRe!1!1! Especially in what amounts to pretty normal cases. Just a box with a bunch of bolt on lights and fans. Yay?
I far more admire a computer where someone has taken the time to actually invest some customization that took skill. Bending watercool hard tubing around a hand made or modified case. Lights are fine for accent or drama, but not as a misrepresentation of uniqueness or effort.
I'm fairly photosensitive so I disable a ton of extra LEDs and cover up some necessary lights (monitor power buttons, caps/num lock indicators) with dimming stickers to make them easier on the eyes.
The only exception is the computer itself. I enable very dim lights on the case, mobo, and GPU which switch between Green/Blue/Red depending on CPU temps - it's nice way to quickly see how much stress my PC is under.
I got fractal design r6 because itβs dampens noise quite well. There was an option for a glass panel, but I got the solid one instead because it insulates sound better.
I spent a few $1000 on the computer, Iβll spend $100 more to make it look fancy
I fucking love it, how I get to have a subtle moving pride flag on the side of me. Have trans colours on my kb.
i am a non-serious gamer, and I really don't care. i'm looking at the game, not the computer or console.
i want plain computers back.
