    I keep getting caught off-guard seeing current photos of Torvalds. He’s just like…a guy.

    And honestly I’d rather my mission-critical software be written by “just a guy” than by whoever Mr. Battlestation is down there on the bottom.

          You have not priced those led fans recently…it adds up when you need 12+ of them (just why?). Assuming you actually use decent fans anyway and not some random no name garbage with a bushing instead of a bearing.

          My buddy built one of these for somebody and his comment was ‘extra $500 so they could taste the rainbow’. So many led lights…

            TBH I want to reduce the LED’s on mine because its in my bedroom and I can’t seem to figure out if there is a way to turn them all off so I can sleep better…

              I’ve been using OpenRGB. Is like 5mb, and runs on everything. Stupid MB and GPU come with rbg…that allows me to turn them off. It doesn’t support everything but it’s worked for my needs so far.

              As long as the fans/leds hook up to an arbg header they should be controllable.

              Did you try turn of the computer? Maybe by a power strip with an on-off switch for it?
