Despite how much I dislike working with hardware, I’m toying with the idea of building my own PC. A quick perusal through Newegg leaves me wondering why everything related to gaming PCs has to have RGB lights everywhere? How am I supposed to sleep at night when my computer’s acting like it’s at a rave?

    Just get a case with a solid sidepanel (one of the Fractal Design Define variants for example). Then your components can RGB all they want, you simply won’t see it.

      @SpaceCadet I thought about that but I like the little window on the side. It makes it easier to see inside if I need to check on something. Just recently I needed to check and make sure nothing was using my bottom sata ports before ordering an m.2 SSD. With the side window, I could just take a peak inside without having to pull the panel off.

      As some others have said, I’ll likely hunt for non-RGB stuff or just set it up to turn them off.

        Perhaps you should also keep in mind that RGB doesn’t have to be unicorm vomit. You can set it to a solid neutral color as well, and it provides a bit of light so you can see what’s going on in your case.
