I kinda liked the AIO water blocks with circle screens for simple animation loops. Can look pretty cool. Not into this scene personally at all, but I can appreciate it’s appealing to blinged out case enjoyers.
Like RGB lighting in general, those are things I only enjoy putting in other people’s computers.
Soon - “play doom on your antec water cooler!”
Looks like they put a magsafe holder on it and threw an old phone on there
If some stuff wouldn’t have been cheaper with lights than without my PC would be a black void.
BeBoxen had der blinkenlichten and we all thought it was so cool, but I can’t help but think we should have reflected on this obvious potential future and pulled back on it.
My idiot butt got a custom pre-built just a couple weeks ago and the cooler pump has one of those screens as well. It is not working and I suspect a plug is set wrongly, but the pump works.
Fixing it would mean ripping apart the pristine cable management and I do not care about lighting as much.
Otherwise I am fully satisfied, but it niggles me a little bit to have paid 20-30 bucks more for a cooler feature that does not work.
Maybe one day when I need to rip up the cable management anyway, I will fix it.
