and if you use rgb, you had to buy a more expensive PSU..
Just to have enough power to lighten up your circuscase.
LED's don't take that much power.... I have a system here with a 120watt PSU that could easily power all of it's current hardware and all of the LED fans, etc that I have on hand without any issue.
I threw my floopy drive away last time I moved. Would love to see it, if you got time.
I've got an external 5.25" floppy drive around here somewhere.....lol
Really? My cpu has no RGB. Also my motherboard standoffs need a bit of bling.
I'm willing to bet that your RGB lighting, doesn't have it's own RGB back-lighting either....
Every time I see a hardware item full to the brim with RGB lighting I imagine a ugly hooker with a TON of make-up trying to score.
Sorry, honesty is such a b!tch.
Hey now... Let's leave hookers out of this. They don't have RGB back-lighting.....

Or... I guess "I'll make my own hookers, with blackjack and RGB LEDs" could also work haha.
