On: The home computer as a cultural object is physically vanishing (2007)

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.

Interesting, I inadvertently own both a Corsair case and RAM, so I might be able to make something neat happen. Thanks for the info!

Although sometimes it's a chore to find something without the RGB.

I find the lights to be fun. I'm playing a game after all :)

I am interested in something like this out of the loop with pc building. Do you have any more info about your rig online?
