It seems a lot of the marketing for PC cases and hardware is targeted at young teenage boys 10-16. I wanted to buy a computer case for my mom, and I couldn't find an affordable one without a window on the side.

IMO it can look nice if it's done subtly. I definitely don't want fast animated LEDs on my computer, I think that would just make it harder to concentrate.

I had the same problem when I went to upgrade my server chassis. Fortunately the side panels on the chassis I settled for were interchangeable so I could swap the glass around to the rear facing side and hide it.

I think that my PC case is pretty tasteful and not targeted towards pizza-faced adolescents. It's not completely enclosed though, the sides are dark mesh. I luckily have very little RGB that shows through it.

Great space-saving design as well.
