I fucking hate RGB. Not only because it’s not well supported in Linux but because I sleep in the same room as my computer. I won’t buy components with RGB if I have the choice.

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 appreciate the gamer aesthetic when scientists need to buy gear with the power to run scientific calculations for relatively cheap. The RGB lights under the case windows bring a bit of pizzazz to the laboratory.

I was into it in the early days but got over it quickly. Now I want the opposite and minimize attention my PC draws to itself. Its just pointless and kind of annoying. It was impressive back when it was new and challenging but now its just an element of marketing, and one that I’ve come to strongly dislike in my builds.

I was into it when I was a teenager, then got over it quickly. This was before RGB programmable lighting was even available, you had to buy your own individual LEDs that didn’t change color.

Also this was the era where CGI anime girls and/or robofrogs were plastered on the GPU and cases had giant useless hunks of plastic to make it look like constipated Transformer so… in all honesty it’s probably gotten better.

Even as a nongamer I appreciate the stylistic aspects of gaming computers, but tbh if I were going to buy one I’d probably put the money into better specs and a plain case.

My PC is RGB because it was cheaper that way. If I had the budget for what I really wanted, my PC would be made of translucent plastic; probably orange or purple.

so uh i built my gaming pc in an old Lenovo Think tower. no tempered glass or RGB. i just want it to work idc how it looks

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

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.

Guilty as charged.

Edited to add, this is actually a slightly old picture. I have a white GPU now.

No, RGB is annoying and gets disabled if I have no other choice. It’s cheap and tacky looking. Basically anything marketed as ‘gaming’ in my eyes is sub tier garbage.

My overall view on all products, not just gaming stuff if the more buzzwords and slogans and whatnot a company uses, the less I give a crap about them and will actually actively avoid it. Just means they spend more on nonsensical crap then the actual product.

In short; More marketing budget = less quality product

Generally I’m not a fan. Personally I like cold, unassuming industrial stuff.

Something like

OR

I would prefer basic, subtle, black. I don’t want rainbows and lights. I’m very function over form.

I’d also rather play a game on medium settings where it runs flawlessly and doesn’t make the fans go hard, than at high settings with worse performance.
