500 watts was enough to power two Quadros back then?? That seems wild to me. Unless the case is concealing a 1 before the 500 lol

Each one runs off a single 6-pin

the reason UV went out of fashion is because it drastically wears out a lot of materials.

Including human beings.

Even relatively recently, full color scheme builds like pre 2016 or so.

You could’ve gone further with whatever color scheme you wanted, with leds being fairly minimal.

And this is just what you did with high end PCs of the time. Color matching. RGB makes the same thing easier but if you were going for aesthetics, you bought components that matched different color schemes. 

 

In my opinion, it was a much better trend. I never understood people saying "just set the RGB to whatever color": shining a colored light on some (black/white/graphite) object is nowhere near the same as that object being a certain color (i.e., having certain pigments react to regular daylight or regular artificial lights). You may, unlie me, like the current RGB solution better, but you can never argue that paint is equivalent to leds.
