Literally my PC to my right. 
I saw an opportunity to make my PC look like a ST TNG set piece and I went for it

CaptainSarcastic posted:Yes? I have an external DVD burner in case I need to work with optical media, and in the year or two I've owned it I still haven't had a reason to unbox it. Yes yes I know but... Computer cases are supposed to have optical drives! Yes, they used to have floppy drives too. But burner drives today can burn 100 GB blank discs at about $4 per disc. I want that poo poo in the case, ready to go at a moments notice! Also, like, nostalgia or something.

I want to decorate mine minimalistically and more formal and she's expressing clear disappointment that it won't have a full neon RGB bunch of garbage to go with what she sees as my cyberpunk aesthetics "at least some red strip lights" lol

Both the CPU fan/cooler and back fan on my PC go through a rainbow of colours. I'd set it just to be solid purple (The best colour) but I plugged in the one connector wrong for the CPU fan and I'm too drat lazy to fix it.

My biggest issue with the whole RGB stuff is that they're not set from the start so that you can customize it and use it as any other light source, colored or otherwise, to contribute to your sense of aesthetics. They're trying to *be* the sense of aesthetic of people with none, or so it seems. The fact you can choose through all the color hues but most of these come as different variants of cycling through the rainbow not just by default but also sometimes making it very drat hard to change. I got a Hyper 212 RGB because the Hyper 212 is essentially the only cooler available in Brazil that's realistically for people to buy without a huge markup and it just came through turning my entire room into a loving demonstration of the rainbow. Linking it to the asus RGB controller didnt make the official asus app recognize it, in fact there are two RGB controllers plus an external one from Corsair I think that I tried just to disable it and failed. There was nothing, no toggle, no means to disable that poo poo until I found a software called Open RGB that allowed me to actually change the drat thing, and I find super bizarre the plethora of official products and apps make it impossible and googling for the issue everyone was at a loss. I disabled the monitor backlight, keyboard RGB (I'll never understand the point of that, its just distracting), mouse RGB (again, your hand is on top of it so???), and managed to find a low key subtle pink color on the cooler that matched the rest of my room. Used this way, it offers an interesting backlight to the room, and it's like, fine. I can live without it but at least now that I can control the color to something it can be used like a normal light emitting furniture. If I hadn't disabled everything right now my monitor would be blasting light all over my wall, the cooler would be rotating through all the rainbow colors and the keyboard would be lighting the keys in sequence back and forth and like, I didn't think of this, I did not plan for this, and whatever end result this chaos brings I want it to be something that I find interesting not have my bedroom aesthetic be defined by which way the companies choose to display they can make all led colors work in their cheap plastic devices. The extreme neon ultra RGB everything is colorful rainbow circles and RGB hexagon however I'll never understand.

I have rgb on my computer but I use it to monitor my cpu temp. If it ever turns red I know to stop doing what I’m doing and wait until it’s cooler outside (my office has no insulation)

Vampire Panties posted:Yo thats loving dope whats the lamp behind the monitor I saw a YouTube with that lamp and now I want to know as well. I like stuff like that. I have pink and purple neon all over my house. I was doing this before it was cool. I think neon (argon) is the best because it's a smooth glowing tube all the way through. Even with diffused RGB you can still see the RGB points of light in the tube. The plus side of RGB though, is the tubes aren't glass and aren't destroyed if they crack in an accident, plus you can change the color to whatever you want. I just don't really get why the lighting has to be all the gently caress over the inside of the computer... the fans, the memory, the cpu cooler, the cables, strips or tubes all over the inside, etc. I mean, I never liked the default beige color of PC cases. An all black case is way better. MAYBE some lighting, like a couple of cold cathodes (aka flourscent tubes, aka neon), that just stay on all the time through a windowed side, and are just connected to a regular peripheral connector or SATA power connector. But full Christmas tree rainbow mode is fugly! Anyways, the aurora lamp projector thingie. Want to know what it is and where to get it, if I (maybe) want to get it!

Vampire Panties posted:Yo thats loving dope whats the lamp behind the monitor there are a load of varieties but the one i wound up with is https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09GNHKBLJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title i wouldnt say i was completely satisfied- the CCDs in cellphones make it look a good but cooler than it is irl. its also produces a tiny amount of noise because its just rotating transparencies over diode. still i like it and it does add to the underwater effect ive got the lighting doing most of the time
