Stopped by a Micro Center yesterday and got hit with a wave of nostalgia
I was picking up a new fan controller and walked past the case mod section, which used to be full of window kits and cold cathode tubes. Now it's all prebuilt RGB strips and glass panels, nothing you really gotta cut or drill yourself. Anyone else miss when modding meant actually breaking out a dremel?

Tell margaretf40 she’s crazy, but I get it. Nothing beats the sound of a dremel at 2am though.

Wait, am I the only one who actually prefers the new stuff? I used to hate cutting holes in my case and hoping I didn't mess up the paint job... now I can just buy a glass panel that looks clean without all the hassle. RGB strips are way easier to install than those old cold cathodes that always flickered and died after six months too. Plus, the prebuilt stuff just works right out of the box, no measuring twice and cutting once headaches. Yeah, maybe it's less "authentic" but I'd rather spend my time gaming than fighting with a dremel at 11pm on a Tuesday.
