    Honestly, the added lighting makes it look cheap, imo.

    I suspect that turning on the LEDs doesn't actually 'turn up your performance'

    Would it be too much to ask for a computer that only has lights for power and hard drive activity. Maybe one more for the power supply for safety's sake. I don't want a video card that glows with a fan that glow next to a cpu fan that glows next to ram that glows on a motherboard that glows. Who told them that lights were cool. (By them I mean every hardware manufacturer.) Last time I check there wasn't an aftermarket cpu cooler on the egg that didn't light up except 2 low profile server models and one old on for LGA775.

    first: Contest is limited to residents of the USA... come on... this is a world wide website.
    second... we already have 4GB ram from another company, so we would have to give up those for these.. pretty pointless.

    zinabas*snip* Last time I check there wasn't an aftermarket cpu cooler on the egg that didn't light up except 2 low profile server models and one old on for LGA775.All Prolimatech Coolers? All Noctua Coolers? All Scythe Coolers? Most Arctic Cooling Coolers? At least half the Coolermaster Coolers?

    All of the above DON'T have LED Fans, therefor don't glow.. OH and the majority work on 775, 1555/1556, 1366, and AM2/+, AM3.

    So either your search criteria on NewEgg is very limited, or you're just blind/dumb... In fact, the first two pages (of 12) of CPU Coolers on NewEgg have only a few LED coolers listed, most are non LED.. LOL!

    But I do agree, LEDs on your RAM modules? Hope they're powered externally not over the RAM Bus... O_o
