[00:01] I do have RGB, but it's all on so it looks white, and only really visible when I open it up to be used as a work light. [11:23] LOL. Saying something is overpriced compared to what you paid on eBay 23 years ago is pretty absurd. Literally everything is considerably more expensive now than it was then. Still, $140 for a case does seem a bit much, even if it is artistic and not a boring rectangle. [11:27] $26.57 for a MasPar MP-2204 is a much better deal even if I did have to spend a bit more to actually go get it from NYC. [11:28] So yeah, I probably did pay more, but I can pretty much guarantee that no one has my case. [11:31] Also I like boring rectangles. They don't try to look all "edgy" or "hard." They don't try to overhype what they are. [11:33] i too prefer the minimal aesthetic and acknowledge that its not for everyone [11:34] I mean don't get me wrong, I do love me some aesthetics, I just happen to think that most in the gaming category are ugly as hell. [11:35] https://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/39-amazing-steampunk-computer-mods-200834 like a lot of this is pretty cool, not all of it but a lot of it. [11:38] ah. I can appreciate some of those. [11:38] https://www.core77.com/posts/25421/jeffrey-stephensons-architectural-art-deco-computer-tower-25421 I think I just came [11:39] I more don't care at all what my desktop computer looks like. I never have. I'd be fine with the ugly beige and olive thing I had in 1992 [11:39] Yeah, it isn't a fashion show. But then I remember that Cray quote... [11:41] I'm not trying to say rectangles are good or bad, but they are inherently cheaper to manufacture, and hence also cheaper to buy. I do tend to make purchasing decisions based on price myself. I usually wind up with "boring rectangle with a mildly interesting facade" [11:41] I can't find it, but it was something like "If you are going to spend one-million on a computer you kind of want it to look nice." [11:43] https://www.theverge.com/2016/3/7/11172576/art-deco-pc-tower-mod-skyvue [13:59] I think it depends on where the box sits. on a desk in a visible place of my home, I might want something that doesn't look ugly. In my basement(which is where everything I have is) i don't care at all. [13:59] in a child's bedroom? BLINKING FLASHING LIGHTS! [13:59] lol [14:01] Depends on what the child likes, and if they're able to sleep with lights on. I have a friend who shuts off every light except for the LEDs when he goes to bed because it'll just keep him up. [14:02] He's also working on making an oil submerged system. Not much light coming out of that once it's all welded together. [14:03] It'll be on a moving track so he can pull it out and work on it if/when needed. Not sure if it'll get to that point though just because of the added weight. He's still mulling it over. [14:21] thats true. [14:21] the blue light is proven to lower the bodies melatonin release [14:21] NO LIGHTS ALLOWED [16:31] systemd capsules feature looks interesting.
