Actually, it's more like the opposite. All the low budget crap, gets more rgb leds than a christmas tree to make it look High end. At one point it was impossible to find a pair of cheap desktop speakers without rgb lights.

idea... and not just because it's ugly and distracting.
 

it's ugly and distracting if done wronge My computer has leds on the motherboard, GPU border and two programmable led strips, but...
- 90% of the time they are off
- Motherboard and GPU leds actually serve a purpose. They give me the temperature readings, CPU load and how the GPU fan is doing.
- When in use, brightness is kept to a minimum (this is because I have noticed that cheap RGB strips has more power than they should
- And they are for lanparty usage (Dreamhack size). That's the only time of the year I go all out. it contributes to the atmosphere.
