Same here. Call me old-fashioned, but the only part of my computer I have any interest in looking at is whatever is being rendered on the monitor.
I don't need any LEDs in my PC because the case is a black metal box with no side panels. Any time/effort/money spent on making a PC "look cool" is time/effort/money that should have been spent making it perform better.
I have LEDs in my computer against my will, because the heatsink and motherboard both came with them and to get ones that didnt would have cost more.
My GPU used to have them too, but I recently upgraded to a new one that doesnt, which is fan-fucking-tastic in my opinion.
Looks like the floor of a abattoir after a unicorn butchering.
Your BIOS/UEFI might have some settings to turn off lights, if they can't be controlled through ways of RGB.
At least the high quality parts have RGB controls that let you turn them off.
sure, if you use windows and download their proprietary spyware control panel.
some can be controlled by open source, like my case leds

red leds wont make your computer go faster, overclocking is blue leds wont make it cooler, tuning fan curves and undervolting is
and so on
I like the lights but I agree with you.
And even jf you do want to have a clear side, plastic is the better/safer choice.
