Are you familiar with the term “case mod?” In case you don’t know, it means “case modification. I thought that nobody’s really into it. As they say, “it’s what inside that counts.” 

“Case modders” admit that putting disco lights inside their computer won’t even add a single megahertz to the speed of their PC. In fact it may even compromise the performance of the unit if the power demanded by the accessories exceeds the limit or capacity of the power supply. It’s not a performance-enhancing undertaking, but it’s definitely an eye-pleaser.  It’s already a given that case modification is a matter of preference and not of necessity. If your system’s specs are already impressive, then I see no reason why you should refrain from training your wallet on dazzling cooling fans or fancy motherboard lights. 

However, I think that spending big on PC make up and lipstick is unreasonable if your processor is already begging for retirement or if your system lacks the necessary tools or applications for optimization. What good is an aesthetically-pleasing PC when it takes minutes for just a single application to run.
