I don't think so, seems like ALL gaming PC's are like that.




SGI workstations had hardly any lights. Their essential distinguishing feature where that they sometimes had slightly rounded corners and came in 'fun' colors. Kind of like this

I think Sony's got your back there. Looks like a source of inspiration for the PS4


I mean... they definitely look like they're from the 90's future.


The Tezro and Octane both have prominent power-on lights, but I think they're tasteful and cool.
