It’s also essentially impossible right now to buy a motherboard that isn’t tarted up with a bunch of stupid LED nonsense. (Unless you buy something low-end or server-grade.)

Yeah it really ruins it honestly, back when I built machines I always went with black aluminium Lian li cases with no windows since they had a nice professional look. I just hate useless lights on anything.

Not true. Asus and some other brands have Workstation class motherboards without the LEDs.

Fine if you want old stuff. None of those boards support Coffee Lake chips though.

On my board, I'd have to install some Windows application to do so. No thanks, I'll just close them up inside my windowless case.
