Someone on Craigslist was actually selling this for below MSRP. Either they came to their senses or someone snatched it up because it wasn't posted for more than a few minutes.

When did the whole RGB craze start? This looks ridiculous.

I got lucky through B&H on mine. I seriously considered selling it on ebay but then I remembered how much of a pain in the arse it was to get.

I threw this together in the Define R6. Typical, well-built Fractal case. Looks extremely clean. Kinda pisses me off that they're charging $50 for the USB-C case header though. I'll still end up buying it, but under protest

I was skeptical but I ended up buying in on my build. Mine isn't NEAR that ridiculous though. Blacked out case with dark purple lighting turned down low. It looks pretty damn good IMO, and I was skeptical.

I've been wanting to do an LSU themed custom loop build with a yellow loop and purple loop and yellow and purple LEDs.

Sounds so much better in my head than it'll probably look on a build haha

Yeah, I don't think that would look very good.

I kinda did one back in 2012 with custom sleeving, vinyl, and LED strips. Really tough to find the right shades and I could never find a gold light I liked. I messed around with the rgb stuff in my case last night and while close, the gold is still off.

The "craziest" look I ever went with was an Antec 300 Illusion (2 front LED fans and 1 top LED fan) and that's only because it was cheaper than the regular 300 on Newegg for some reason.

Delid that son of a bitch too. Silicon Lottery will do it for $40. I've seen 5.2 with a Noctua NHD15.

Just got it put back in after doing that with some Thermal Grizzly Aeronaut. I don't feel great about it so I just ordered some Kryonaut to redo it over the weekend.

Really struggling on my monitor purchase.

The Alienware AW3418DW looks to be pretty solid but something about the Asus PG348Q is calling me.
