I just upgraded my computer this holiday season, and was surprised that my motherboard, CPU-fan, and graphics card now all sport colourful lights with special cables to connect them to the motherboard.

If it makes people happy, I'm all for it. I couldn't be bothered to figure out how to actually turn the lights in the CPU-fan off though (they are on by default), so there is a very colourful and pointless light show going on within my completely black and opaque computer case.

Funny enough I just bought parts for a new build and my Motherboard was about the only thing without RGB lights. I didn't really want any at all, but the components I needed were all significantly cheaper than their non-RGB counterparts. Even the RAM ended up $20 per kit cheaper than the exact same model without RGB.

I might try to embrace it to look nice, but I will probably just end up turning them all off, despite having a window on the case.
