Despite how much I dislike working with hardware, I'm toying with the idea of building my own PC. A quick perusal through Newegg leaves me wondering why everything related to gaming PCs has to have RGB lights everywhere? How am I supposed to sleep at night when my computer's acting like it's at a rave?

More often than not you can disable RGB on some software or just by not plugging it in (my tower came with RGB fans that honestly were beautiful but I can't stand the unicorn barf for long periods of time)

RGB case fans are ones I'll never get because hooking them up with the extra wiring sounds annoying. I don't mind the ones part of AIOs or motherboards though, since they don't make the process of building more annoying.

Argh they're horrible! I think mine weren't even compatible with my motherboard specs so I wouldn't be able to control them with software. I'd have to use a stupid controller.

Lian Li have some that can be daisy-chained so they will only have one wire to plug. That I think it's cool. Mine is a rat's nest that I keep hidden.
