RGB lighting on all sorts of computer gear that has infested us coz
gamers have been told by marketeers that they love the insides of their
computers lighting up like a christmas tree. And the outsides.

For example the reason why my computer case has a glass side I had to
cover in black paint to help stop the RGBling on my RAM from lighting up
my bedroom while I try to sleep. Still leaks out the rear fan holes,
can't cover those.

But at least the RGBling on the case and motherboard could be turned off
or unplugged.

My computer speakers are awesome, except for the bright blue ring of
light around the power / volume control.

So it's bling we don't need, but that is getting harder and harder to
avoid.
