Oh very true. I love some blinky lights as long as I can set them to ALWAYS BE OFF when I want.

I was able to find some lovely replacement parts for all my RGB stuff though. I could have gone with a much cheaper CPU cooler, but I just loved how giant and chonky the d15 is. You can get black fans everywhere, I think I got some Corsair silent fans to replace all my RGB fans. RAM was easy to find RGB-free.

My mobo still has RGB but that was mega easy to disable forever. PSU is a KW black.

So how I have a beautiful silent blacked-out machine, and a drawer with a great working PSU, 32GB RAM, three RGB 120mm fans, and a 280mm RGB AIO just chillin there. Maybe I’ll make another machine with them sometime.

Quick edit: I DO want my keyboard and mouse to have lights on them. I live and work in a very low-light house because I’m a gremlin, and having dim lights and shine-through keycaps allows me to find keys I don’t hit as often when I need to, or find my mouse on my desk when it runs away.

I undermount my PC on the far back corner of my desk, the lights just don't do me any good.

That’s fair haha. Mine now lives face-to-face with my partner’s identical (but newer and more powerful) machine behind their big screen next to my desk, so lights wouldn’t do anything for me if I had them anymore.
