All of those musician's workstations have the actual computer hidden somewhere out of sight. There's a monitor or two, a computer keyboard lying around(all wireless, it looks like?), but all those desks are dominated by musical keyboards, mixer boards, and speakers. Sometimes there's a laptop sitting on it. All the cables are hidden, out of the way.
Take away the monitors and the computer keyboard, substitute a couple of multi-track reel-to-reel tape decks, and it looks exactly like what I'd see when I'd visit my dad at his audio engineer job in the 1970s.
The computer itself is just an appliance, stick it under the desk next to the mini-fridge. Maximize the available surface used for getting the work done; as long as the computer's got enough airflow to not overheat when you push it hard, who cares where it is?
Well, gamers care I guess, they all have those crazy light-up cases with clear sides to show off how much they spent on their custom-built rig. The computer's become an object of desire there.
I'm a gamer and my rig is a mini itx tucked away. I like it quiet and performant. Yes the market slaps RGB lighting on anything and everything gamer but it's up to gamers to buy them.
I like having my case light up with the temperature of the components.
I've never succeeded making it anything but a deep green and it gives me a nice and fuzzy feeling, knowing that everything is at an optimal temperature while the fans lazily spin behind the tempered glass.
Ha! That's such a fantastic idea. I always keep my lights either off, or on white because I kind of dislike RGB lighting. I might have to look into this, did you use any specific software for this?
It is a setting in the nzxt control panel for me (I only used nzxt cooling components in my current build), but other manufacturers often have plugin architecture for the LED control, so it's usually not that hard to setup on others as well.
