    If appearance doesn't cost any extra, then sure I'll take it. As for lights & stuff... Do they make the computer run faster? More stable? Then I don't need 'em.

    Whatever floats your boat.

    I don't think I'd use the "street racing world" as an example, though -- too many wannabes are ALL show. Around where I live there are two cars in particular that come to mind -- a Hyundai Accent with a custom paint job, ground effects package, and huge spoiler and an old Toyota Camry with an aluminum spoiler big enough for a sprint car. Those "upgrades" are money that could've been better spent under the hood (or simply buying a better car).

    The same applies to my computer -- I've got X dollars... Do I want a neon light or more RAM?

    could care less what it looks like, as long as its resonably quiet, and the innards are nice and cool Im happy.

    I prefer a nice balance between the two. I will admit I have some LED fans but I try not to overdo it. Just a few to make the case glow blue is good. Oh, and the sunbeam

    I agree with Skydog though, I would rather spend money on RAM, CPU's and other stuff...

    For me looks are the last thing on the list. I need a case, that is easy to work with, has loads of space, and is of good quality... oh and availability is also very important.

    All my other stuff are beige so I tend to stick with it... would rather spend more for the stuff inside, than having a nice looking case. My case is hidden underneath the table in any case (full tower) so nobody sees it..

    To make my pc look good, I only spend money on the quality of the case (ie, CoolerMaster or Lian Li) and the acoustics of it.

    I just spent $$,$$$ buying furniture for my room where I keep my PC and honestly, an extra 50-150 to buy a nice looking case like a coolermaster that blends in well with the rest of the furniture is well worth it for me. I'm sick of beige cases and beige drives.
