    Not just safety (double-insulated is a thing even without grounded outlets): a switch-mode PSU is basically a very high power RF noise generator, and not something you want operating unshielded inside your case.

    I think Pis are more appropriate. HDMI is the go-to for large numbers of pixels over a fistful of GPIO pins.


    Well, poop.

    Some PSU brands (unsurprisingly just ones you should never allow near a PC) actually used to sell ones with windows in the case like for example this:

    As for peak RGB...
    Doesn't that dubious honour belong to the RGB covered Yas Hotel in Abu Dhabi which also has an F1 track running through it?

    Well, I took my car through the car wash, and it was upgraded with RGB LEDs on everything. Felt like I was driving through a rave.

    Newegg have got on board to push it a bit further... Their RGB CPU! Do watch the video further down the page
    They'll all be sold out by midday though :winking:

    The best bit for me was the fact that it ships with ALL 3 colours, R,G,B and other colours available at additional cost via micro transaction :lol:

    I expect a lot more of this sort of thing given the date.

    Man, who cares about self-illumination when they're selling a hundred-thread 1.4 petahertz processor for only five grand? That is SO MANY MIPS.

    Rgb... takes me back to the days when your case looked like an aquarium with a cold cathode light in. It looked **** then, it looks **** now, bring back beige boxes, bah humbug.

    RGB has definitely gone to far. You need to watch this even if you don't like the guy.
