That's a gamer, not a software engineer

When forced to have rgb components.. I disabled them. If nothing else it's yet another point of failure and extra waste heat.

Hah, jokes on you, I have an ultra wide.

Which is basically two monitors without any separator in the middle.

I go out of my way to find components that don't have RGB lighting on them. When I use my computer, I want to be looking at the screens (the two-monitor part is true,) not the case.

Only 2 monitors? Them be rookie numbers, need to get them up

No, I don't have useless LEDs in my computer. My gaming rig is actually in a flat black case that blends in with the furniture.

Except my employer shipped me a dev box with a big polycarbonate window and an unnecessarily beefy GPU with RGB LEDs that dance by default. 🤦

Flashing RGB light are legit the most annoying shit ever. I just have a black box for a case and my peripherals glow a dim solid color (so I can see them in the dark) if at all.

I think I'm up to 5 spread across two different workstations, but no rgb that shits annoying to me.

I do have 2 monitors. But I have an opaque side panel. Case closed. Pun intended.

Yeah I hate that it seems now you have to pay a premium to NOT have RGB

I stray away from it as much as possible

Guys, I think age is making us boring. I also personally prefer black rectangles and soft neutral lights, but I think we're the bories.

Wtf is a rainbow computer?

I don't know how to make my RAM be not a rainbow and I'm too lazy to look it up

Monitors – hell yes! RGB – can't stand it. My keyborad has a plain white backlight and that's it. It's purely functional.

Stereotypes exists so that I can be the 5% that doesn't fall into them.

Two monitors but a solid case side panel (in fact it's a case that's so old that at the time TG side panels were not common). If I could be at liberty to choose parts purely based on looks, I'd go with something black, minimalistic and with no RGB.

Ericah Bachman isa fat and stupid.

It's a shame some of the better components have baby-sensory RGB lights tacked on. I'd have bought my parts plain if that was a convenient choice.

Oh also

mmmaaadddeee wwwiiittthhh mmmeeemmmaaatttiiiccc

I have a rainbow computer with only one monitor. Am I not a software engineer?

I only have one monitor... It's an ultra wide.

The blinky lights make it compile faster!

I'm getting older but nah, fuck it, I like RGB lighting in my build. I have a cool mostly open case with a glass front that you can wall mount Pretty sure it's an older version of this thing. if not it's a very similar setup and making all my components glisten red or react to explosions in an FPS just feels cool to me.

I turn down the brightness though cuz holy shit they come set to 2x the sun by default
