Don't need to manage the cables if no one can see them.
aintevnchezy
Why do you attack me like this??
IbonePokemon4Fun
Built my pc about a year ago with a window but no RGB cuz I didn't know what that was at the time. Still in awe everytime I stare at it tho
echonite
That is exactly the reason my PC looks decent inside.
DetroMex
Mine is the total opposite. My case is a mangled piece of shit but the cable sleeve is minttt
YouHaveNoodsAndIHaveAnInbox
I spent a LOT of time making full custom length, sleeved cables. Never again. Fuckin choice though…

drbloodbathmc
I’m curious why the downvotes?
certainlynotaserialkiller
i have no idea
lozeldatkm
On my last pc build, it was like why does every case have a big clear window now? So everyone can see my big mess of cables inside?
JayEnfield
It's so you can see all of the
lozeldatkm
I spent my limited budget on the best possible hardware, not on pretty lights.

Me too. Keep it running and just work a little on cable management everyday as you go.

iamdanman
I appreciate it, I think I worked through my shit and the mf just hits me out of nowhere
TCooley79
Am I poor? I didn’t think so but the idea of a gaming pc in my life is laughable.
lozeldatkm
I built 2 PCs with tax returns, each costing just over a grand. I would never be able to pony up that much normally.
drbloodbathmc
A pc like that is a luxury. You can build a pc that can handle AAA games decently for relatively cheap actually.
Nova5269
Yeah, that's a Lian Li case, $350 for it, I think. I tried it on mine but the airflow was horrible, for me at least
drbloodbathmc
It’s a beautiful case but yeah, the airflow doesn’t look the best. I’m looking at the Phamtek enthoo 719 instead.
Nova5269
That looks like a nice case. I got the Phantek Eclipse P500A case, the light on the bottom is programmable and looks good
Corrodias
Kinda. You're at least not "middle class" if you can't spare a thousand bucks for leisure every few years. Sorry you're in that position. :(
TheGreatAtomsk
that's a hard no! building hardware: ~30min; water cooling: couple hours; cable management: multiple days, maybe a week.
DavidBrooker
Inside and outside the case. I don't want to see a wire when I'm at my desk. Cable managing my desk for all my external peripherals and 1/2
DavidBrooker
electronics took longer than cable managing the case. I do this for basically I own with a cable. 2/2
Jokesterwild
Multiple days ?
NickRivieraMD
how can you spend multiple days on cable management but ignore parallel clause construction>?
TheGreatAtomsk
maybe because i'm neither a native speaker nor terribly interested in oxford-level english when i'm limited to 140 characters.

DiscoTurtle87
You guys have components to build a PC?
JayEnfield
It took a bit of wrangling, but I did indeed get mine built 3 months ago
Jemmos
I have the components to build 7 pcs. possibly 12, if you dont include a monitor. Not sure why I have so many AMD A4/A8's laying around..
Jemmos
that and approximately 87 freeken S3 Virges!, 30+ 100base PCI network cards(some with integrated dialup modem!) and 200+ laptop hdds <=256gb
Jemmos
I swear I threw out a box of S3 Virges last year, where do they keep coming from?? I quit systems admin 15 years ago! I drive a fork lift!!!
johnwilliamsistheman
(Prebuilts are a really good option right now if you want the pc but are struggling to source)
Tariq182
Got my 3070 this way but lucky I was desperate for pretty much a whole new pc anyway.
johnwilliamsistheman
Same, bought a prebuilt with a 3070 in it, and I’m very happy I did
drbloodbathmc
The end is in sight. Factories should be up and running early next year and we’re already halfway through. There are signs demand is 1/2
drbloodbathmc
Decreasing as well so more cards should get into the hands of gamers. 2/2
TheWizardofGauze
Plus with the newly built cards having a limited hash rate (I believe) they'll be less desirable to cryptominers (hopefully)
drbloodbathmc
We can hope. If not Ethereum is supposedly moving to a form that’s makes house less desirable on their end as well. We’ll have to see.
GODzillaFH
Used to be with my old case. New one is better built to handle cables and is orderly front AND back. :)

I suspect it's a fashion inspired by novelty. Like most fashion, it will go out of style eventually. But what do I know?

well.. we dont :P my pc is tucked away behind my screens because of one teeny tiny LED on the MB that is like a beacon of Gondor at night..

I have 4 ram sticks with RGB and my PC was boot looping, when I was checking components one of the sticks was out of sync on it's RGB 1/2

That's what told me where the issue was. Totally not intentional design but cool regardless. 2/2
proxykalevra
I always try to murder out my system. As few lights as possible and if I have the option mesh for airflow and no glass
Zaruzen
Because companies think we want it and they can put higher price tags because of it?
jixathejinx
It's the future! Lots of neon lights and tubes!
LateNightBunnyParty
I dunno, but my raccoon brain can't get enough of them. It's like junior high, when I had all my light-up shoes and Lisa Frank pencil pouch.
Leaveittojebus
I remember when black cases came out as an exciting alternative to beige.
Valthek
Because more RGB = more fps
Slamtastik
It's was the opposite for me, my RGB program consumed like 16% cpu, I just turned it off.
maxzero
My self-built boxes have a couple switched LED strips along the inside to inspect without a flashlight. Otherwise, I guess just for show?
TCooley79
Cheap, low power requirements and people like flashy shit

I have all of mine set to a nice blue, and my motherboard is too old to have software control, so I closed the remote in the back and will

never change it. I'll do something similar when I finally build a new PC.
ImAfraidYoureAllPsychosSoIMadeThisAccount
Especially ones you can't turn off... my living room looks like a disco every night.
ruferto
we dont. some ppl like generic RGB. i prefer hue lighting that i control precisely to set the mood. my computer doesnt have to be part of it

I refuse to have LEDs in my rig. Darkness is the only way. This ain't no disco!

I dont know why everything has to come RGB lit now. Id honestly pay extra to NOT have that on normal products.

LordHosk
I asked the same thing on twitter and the overwhelming response was "we spent thousands on this thing... we have to draw attention SOMEHOW"
LordHosk
The second response was "thats just how stuff comes, and I don't bother to turn it off its such a hassle I hate it but its there"
Briqs
Sie sind leider geil
stja
Because people like to put leds on their stuff. No one is forcing you to buy leds.
LordHosk
Its often difficult to find non-LED versions of products in stock, and when you spend an hour turning it off... a power outage resets it on.
boevis
Same reason people lift their trucks, lower their cars, blast their stereo, get a loud muffler, halogen lights, or underlighting.
mardukkur
Nah, it's more work to put together a high-end build without LED lighting than it's worth.
DewiMorgan
So... it's a penis thing?
OldSchoolNewRules
First PC build: this. Second PC build: black box.
Katateochi
there just wasn't the option of LEDs when I built my first. so I'm making up for lost time now.
interesseret
My current pc is just a black metal box, but all the sides can be popped open to reveal the circus show that is going on inside
sadurdaynight
Why put a spoiler on a honda? Because some phd's in marketing conditioned you to think your life would be complete by doing so.
tcpolecat7
Yeah, when I built my last machine I had to really hunt to find parts that DIDN'T have glowing LEDs everywhere!
razmann
same, the salesperson at microcenter kept trying to pint me to the RGB lighting stuff. i just said to them (1/2)

"this is sitting in a box next to my desk, nobody's going to see this, not even me." (2/2)
PwnageHobo
Because they're better than the Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lights we used to use in our PCs
Ryanator50
the whale oil lamps my father used in his PC where such a fire hazzard.
otherJeffsarefalseJeffs
And you had to add dangerous chemicals to it to get it to change colors
LerryV2
I disagree. The soft glow of cold cathodes were better and less obnoxious looking.

drbloodbathmc
The water pipes. 2/2
Nova5269
Water cooling is certainly efficient to cool and looks neat, I just have very expensive parts and I'm terrified of a leak ruining everything
ArkenX
And high end air coolers have come a long way. Usually cheaper with similar performance.
Spoonland
the water pipes. liquid cooling. good luck
drbloodbathmc
Thank you. This is going to be my first liquid build so I’m researching as much as I can to mitigate the chance of something going wrong.

Nobody's forcing you to. Every LED component also has an unlit version that costs the same or less. I happen to like unicorn vomit tho

My graphics card literally has no way to do this. After 3 hours unable to turn it off, I finally said "fuck it" and used electrical tape.

weird... what gpu you got pal?

Radeon RX 6800 XT GAMING X TRIO 16G. The LEDs are integrated right to the PCB itself. There's nothing to unplug.

Are there any Razer mice without LEDs? Or at least LEDs that can be turned off?
stja
Razer is the Apple of PC peripherals, you pay extra for the brand and leds are part of the brand.
Xanthx
Yes, and they are hard to find. Source - viper 8/death adder mini
Apparitions21
You can turn off LED on razer mice in synapse i think
lysani
In Razer Synapse, all you need to do is set the lightning effect to 'None' and it disables the RGBs. Works on the mouse and keyboard.
JuggernaughtJoe
God that program is so bulky.
Rabeandre
Yeah, you can just set them to black in the software
TheCacklingJackal
You see why it's annoying that I need to have software running for components to disable flashing LEDs right?
Rabeandre
It'd be real simple to buy a mouse from a company that isn't Razer tho
DetroMex
Do you need a razer mouse tho?
ArkenX
The DeathAdder elite is one of the only large mice I've used that's decent. All those tiny ass office mice were cramping my hands
DGNightwing95
I like the trinity. Good for basic use and the swapable side buttons are nice for jumping into a game without plugging in another mouse.
TheCacklingJackal
No, I don't need a personal computer either though. Gotta shop around to find stuff without LEDs these days.
DetroMex
I use a Logitech g305. Relatively cheap and the only light is on the tracking speed switch
DGNightwing95
Turn brightness to 0.
TheCacklingJackal
You mean by installing software?
thepersonwhostaresatyouthroughyourwebcamwhenyouthinkitsoff
Install it, turn off the light, uninstall it. The mice have onboard memory. I know, extra steps but w/e
DGNightwing95
If you wanna turn the lights off gotta install razer synapse.
