If we’re building PCs here, i wanna hear your opinions on (A)RGB LEDs. 5V, 12V, single color, addressable. MFing Lights.

What’s your preferred amount? Just a few LED fans? Or some RGB RAM sticks? Maybe just on your CPU cooler? Or a single solitary LED strip?

Maybe you’re like me. Maybe you need more. Maybe your build isn’t complete unless everything is glowing and synced. LED strip, LED fans, CPU cooler, GPU, the works. Why can’t a PC be functional and fun to look at?

Or maybe you want no LEDs at all. Maybe you’re a Noctua fan. Maybe you cringe at the idea of PC components that light up more than absolutely necessary.

So let’s hear it. How much lighting is enough? Is there such a thing as enough, or too much for you?

    Depends on the [pc] case?

    Some people have the need to spy/ stan on what their computer’s internals is doing all the time. and I do get how fun that could be. The nsa/ kgb/ mi6/ ccp does that all the time. So why not lights? Interrogation lights sounds cool too.

    but if the pc case isn’t for that kind of thing, maybe no lights or the minimum you get from any discounted hardware is reasonable enough.
