Thanks

Though, I mean, I was going for the Photon, both are in the same tier, just the Thermaltake is currently on sale, so the RGB is just a bonus.  I'll probably set it to orange though

Currently focusing on my video game collection.

It doesn't matter what you play games on, just play good games you enjoy.

That's my favorite part about RGB, it doesn't have to be a rainbow vomit and can adapt to different themes perfectly 

Personal build >  New-ish AMD main gaming setup           

   PLEASE QUOTE OR @ ME FOR A RESPONSE xD

Well, why?  Especially when you can do this right here.

Some people hate customizability.  Some hate it cause they think it costs more (both the Thermaltake and the Rosewill were the same price, the Thermaltake just went on sale).  

I know one guy one time told me he didn't like it cause, "he only buys function, doesn't care about all the fancy shit."  

That's the only reasons I can think of.

From what I've noticed, can't you disable the LEDs on most of them?

SuperNova NEX is a much cooler name than EVGA G2

For the price 74.99 you get 650w, gold eff and full modular cables vs EVGA G2 79.49 550w, full modular gold eff

eh, he screws up builds pretty often. remember $1700 build log? somehow the GQ turned into a NEX xD and linus, luke or anyone at LMG didn't give a single shit, multiple messages to them and they didn't even acknowledge it.
