To RGB or not to RGB

[Flex]

I am not sure about you guys, but this RGB story is being so hectic! Everything now has lights that can flash and change colours! But at what cost though and is it really worth it?

I like my PC to have some lights in yes. But having my MOBO, GPU, Fans, RAM with RGB Lighting is definitely not priority.
And that seems to be the latest trend.. RGB being a must on almost every single component outside and inside of your tower!

Razers' Chrtoma range is a very good example. Exactly same products, just different lighting. But oh boy... The price tells a different story.

Sorry, I've been out of the loop for a while. Whats RGB apart from being a color model? Can you CMYK your pc?

Yes, but now you get RGB Mice, Keyboards, Mobos, GPUs, Ram and much more

I personally couldn't care less about all the perspex and coloured lights. Ya it can look nice, but I would much rather put money into performance than lighting...

Agreed 100%. but it is funny to see how some people will do it totally the opposite way

I prefer my PC minimalist and goth. Black, void of light. Harbinger of darkness.

I suppose it depends if you're going to put your PC on show or not. Any machine of mine is likely to just live under my desk, but for people who go to a lot of LAN's and stuff it might be more worthwhile to them having a showy PC. Although personally, even if I was going to LAN's, I would still prefer to have a killer PC in a plain box than a mediocre one in a shiny box. Of course if you have lots of money to throw around, you could have the best of both.

Nothing is worse (IMO) than someone rocking up with a case that looks like a laser light show, and when you start asking about what they're running it's all Intel i3-2100, 4GB DDR3 1066, Radeon HD 6450, etc etc... And you're like WTF, DO YOU EVEN GAME ON THAT?
