I have absolutely no interest in RGB anything in my computer. Yet I've occasionally ended up with all these RGB parts -- RGB LED on my mouse, RGB RAM sticks, RGB GPU -- just because it's the best alternative right then and there, it's wild. It's at the point where you sometimes have to go with a worse price/performance option or otherwise suboptimal choice just to avoid the stupid useless little RGB LEDs.

That's when black PVC tape is your friend. Just used that earlier today because some cretin decided that putting a 10,000lm blue LED strip on a bedside phone charger is a good idea.

(It's actually a very nice charger, except for that --ing LED strip).

Yeah, if people were still doing LAN parties, I’d want to bring the equivalent of a sleeper car. Maybe empty out that beige AT case with the turbo button on it.
That, and using old G4 or G5 Mac cases are very common projects.
backlit keyboards are an ok idea..
