I'd also like to compare that kind of retardness to people that have lights *inside* their computer, complete with a window on the side of the tower. Totally useless, wasting power, pollutes the vision by shining coloured light where there should be none, and just being a sign of bad taste. Heck, there are cooling fans with LEDs in them.
