Screens, screens and almost certainly more screens.
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
Lit PC setups are nice and all until you try to go to sleep with them in the same room. I miss plain old PC cases that hide their components so I can seed overnight.
Normally you can turn off all the lights
I can do it for the video card but some lights on the mobo are for status so that's not easily doable.
I picked up a Monsterlabo case, fully enclosed fanless, just vent at bottom ans top. No lights, no fans...best PC decision for a machine that stays on to run containers at night while main PC during day
I know very little about these things (why do I need pretty lights in my computer? My GPU has a big, useless white light that I wish I could turn off) but one thing I THINK I know is that that's installed the wrong way around, no? Shouldn't the pump be on top? So that any air bubbles don't gather at whatever you're cooling?

Have you tried OpenRGB? It may not support your specific GPU but it's worth checking.
I have, it doesn't, but thank you.
Air bubbles rise in liquid, so the pump needs to be below the reservoir to avoid bubbles.
Wait, but that's what I'm asking. Why are bubbles at the pump not okay? Don't I want no air at all the other end for ideal cooling?Edit: I misunderstood this entire setup. Disregard me, thank you for your efforts to explain stuff to sleep deprived me.
If some stuff wouldn't have been cheaper with lights than without my PC would be a black void.
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.
