Yes, though not to the extreme.

I think a lot of these designs probably appeal to the early teen demographic who are begging their parents for their first gaming computer. My tower has one glass side because I like being able to see my components, but I didnt find any RGB necessary. Some of the colorful see through cases are quite pretty when arranged. I don't understand why mice have to look like bionicles though.

I really could care less what it looks like. It just needs to be functional/practicle

My case is all black, but almost everything these days ships with RGB if it’s a modern gaming part. I set them to the lowest brightness at a dark purple so it barely shows. Anything more than that is too distracting for me.

I don't really prefer it. I just buy gaming mice because they have more buttons and disable the RGB.

I think a lot of people like the customization that rainbow RGB more than anything else.

I like my stuff hidden anyway so I don't care all to much. I disable leds usually because they are distracting but keep one solid led to indicate whether the system is on or not.

I'm fairly photosensitive so I disable a ton of extra LEDs and cover up some necessary lights (monitor power buttons, caps/num lock indicators) with dimming stickers to make them easier on the eyes.

The only exception is the computer itself. I enable very dim lights on the case, mobo, and GPU which switch between Green/Blue/Red depending on CPU temps - it's nice way to quickly see how much stress my PC is under.

Some like it and some dislike it. A lot of it can be changed or turned off anyway, so most just pick what they like.

Then there are the RBG-phobes. They talk about it like it's the devils work and seemingly get upset if other people have it in the privacy of their own home.

i am a non-serious gamer, and I really don't care. i'm looking at the game, not the computer or console.

I got fractal design r6 because it’s dampens noise quite well. There was an option for a glass panel, but I got the solid one instead because it insulates sound better.

I spent a few $1000 on the computer, I’ll spend $100 more to make it look fancy

I fucking love it, how I get to have a subtle moving pride flag on the side of me. Have trans colours on my kb.

so uh i built my gaming pc in an old Lenovo Think tower. no tempered glass or RGB. i just want it to work idc how it looks

I like some of it, but not everything. Customizable is good, but if it's all preloaded and unmodifiable then it's more a mockery of self-expression, isn't it?

got a pc with a good deal. First thing I did was electrically cut off all unnecessary leds

i want plain computers back.

Personally I don’t care for the trend that is RGB EvReyWhERe!!1!1! MoRe!1!1! Especially in what amounts to pretty normal cases. Just a box with a bunch of bolt on lights and fans. Yay?

I far more admire a computer where someone has taken the time to actually invest some customization that took skill. Bending watercool hard tubing around a hand made or modified case. Lights are fine for accent or drama, but not as a misrepresentation of uniqueness or effort.
