Default Computer Rice, What Do You Think About It

I say its as ghey as you can get.

Its ok to put on one cold cathode light maybe to see the guts if your browsing at night and have a tons of fans or a heavy heatsink like me to see if they are still spinning and if the HS didnt fall off and crushed the computer. And no I have no lights on my rig. Only lights I get is from the display on my fan controller.

What is up with these people putting some low end fans with tons of lights that dont actually move any air...and wires that reflect light or whatever....and graffics....

I mean look at this







The rice is spreading people....soon people will start ricing out their houses.

I suppose having a few lights in the PC is OK. But I'd certainly rather invest in better hardware than tacky luminescent stuff or extravagant cases.

The 3rd one is killer

haha that first one is pretty ridiculous. I don't really have any problem with people doing it though, since I don't really have to see it on the road every day. Of course my respect for those people will drop dramatically if they ever do something like that to their computers, but I say to each his own.

1st one is defintiely ridiculous
2nd looks quite tastefully done (still not my cup of tea though)
3rd just looks crap

I did ask in the shop if they had one without gay lights, actually!

I thought you might dis me on the DKNY sticker, though. Bit like putting a VTEC sticker on a Nissan LOL... It came off a pair of sunglasses. 8)

yeah some take it too far but there is a good balance in modding your computer case.

HAHA You should see my PC inside. Its beautiful, but my case doesnt have a window...Its so neat inside. No big IDE cable, SATA harddrive and black rounded cable for the dvd drives. A nice red pcb motherboard and a grafics card to match, and a nice big heat sink, along with memory that has blue matt heat spreaders......

my harddware













And lots of fans neatly tucked away in this case




And it will stay this way. No windows, no visible optical drives, neat inside...elegant, how its supposed to be.......even though its a mean lean 3.5GHZ 1167FSB machine.
