sorry, i dont agree with greyscale displays

Bah! You haven't lived til you've used a high-grade greyscale medical monitor for your monochrome photography!

But yeah, that's kind of a niche....

Actually, black is not a color. It is the absence of color.

No idea what No Nut November has to do with custom loops that use blood, nor what DDD is, other than it probably has something to do with December, nor what you mean by "other liquids". But yeah I agree!

I enjoy the minimalistic designs that fractal design has to offer for PC Cases! It does tire your eyes out for awhile. It is a nice mood setter for bedrooms tho.

I don't bother with RGB either as I run my rigs 24/7 most of the time.  Bonus, I don't really buy window side panels, so with the side panels closed, I don't have to bother being annoyed with the few parts that have the light show on them.

I have some RGB on my PC and i love it, i tought it would be pretty annoying but i decided to try, and after installing i discovered that it is really cool. I don't regret getting my RGB watercooler and would put RGB fans on my case too, it gives kinda of a happy feeling.

im not, but its slowly growing on me.. needs to be in moderation and definitely not overdone like many do. To many people value aesthetics over performance and it bugs me to see someone spend 200$ on RGB fans and lighting, but only have a 1050 in there system. This is where most of my disdain for RGB likely comes from.

I love the RGB on my pc but it also has the option to turn off the led's inside of the case which is nice when im leaving it on overnight, all the parts inside of my PC are black except the RAM (TForce, i think) and GPU (Gaming Z 2070) and i think the RGB on the 2070 is beautiful but the ram is a little to bright for my liking, for some reason the RAM RGB cannot be changed as none of the software picks it up, might ask a question on here about it

I dont mind having 2 colours on my keyboard, but my case is all one colour and if i can figure out the RAM RGB it will be a breathing Blue while the GPU will be a breathing Red

I mostly don't care about RGB. For the most part it makes poorly thought out rigs and general set ups tacky and stupid.

 

But RGB done right? Like say you have a day wallpaper with lots of green and your RGB and ambient lights switch colors then purple at night and such, those applications work really well.

 

Even rainbow patters can be made to look pretty nice if you match it with your wallpaper, surroundings, etc. But most people honestly just get something "RGB" and do nothing else to their set ups. Which is fine don't get me wrong I don't worry about those things myself but I also don't spend extra on RGB

Less noticible PC, the better. I do need an illuminated keyboard (prefer red or white), don't like the color palette of My Little Pony, smeared across the hardware

What do you have against MLP? ò.Ó

 

In regards to OP, everyone has their particular taste regarding RGB, besides RGB doesn't mean you need the rainbow every time you can just set it the colors your want whenever you want or do like some people do, buy RGB and leave it on static same color for its whole life...

 

it's still a nice thing to have on peripherals but go out your way to add it on the case is already stretching to a big nope from me.

My rig wasn't built to be a forum tourer, it was built so I could record VHS tapes at high quality and play Team Fortress 2 at 3840x2160. It's not pretty, it isn't eye-catching, but it's a hell of a workhorse.

I don't care for RGB, it's a meme that goes wrong when you do it wrong.
