For many, a PC is merely a work and entertainment tool. However, some invest time in decorating, aspiring to own the most beautiful PC setup. Mytour reveals 4 methods to accomplish this goal, ranging from simple to challenging, affordable to luxurious.
Embrace RGB LED Lighting
If you find your PC case a bit dull and wish to upgrade it without breaking the bank, consider purchasing peripherals (mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc.) with RGB LED lights. Alternatively, invest in separate RGB LED strips to install inside the case. This way, you can enhance the original monotonous machine with your favorite colors, effortlessly and cost-effectively.
When opting for this approach, ensure your PC's power supply has spare cables to power the LED lights. Also, tidy up the cables inside the case for maximum aesthetics when the lights are on. If the inside looks chaotic, the LED lights may do more harm than good. This is currently the most budget-friendly way to achieve a visually stunning PC.
Choose a Case You Love
Unlike graphics cards or RAM often hidden inside the case, the case itself is crucial in creating an attractive PC setup. Don't delay choosing the case until the last minute; take time to consider this component from the start. The variety in price and aesthetics of cases today is vast, ensuring you'll find one that suits your preferences.
In fact, the options are incredibly diverse. You can buy a regular rectangular case or opt for something completely different. For instance, the AeroCool StrikeX-Air below looks more like a futuristic science device than a PC case in 2022. While its price isn't too high, you'll have to order it from overseas and wait quite a while.
Decorate the Inside of the Case
Adding decorative items inside the case is another way to achieve a beautiful PC setup. The possibilities are endless, depending on the owner's imagination. From simply placing anime figures inside to transforming the case into a theme park, anything is possible.
However, the downside of this method is that the items placed inside may obstruct the airflow inside the case, reducing the cooling performance of the computer. The heat emitted by components can also affect the decorations if they are made of plastic. Therefore, Mytour recommends using this method only if you have equipped your setup with water cooling or use the computer in an air-conditioned room.
Create Your Own Unique PC Case
On a higher level, you can enlist artisans to craft your very own custom PC case. Cases modified in this manner can be based on an existing frame, just changing the outer shell, or they can be completely customized from A to Z. Opting for this approach transforms the PC case from a mere protective shell for internal components into a decorative piece for the room, expressing the owner's hobbies and aesthetic preferences. Some custom cases are so stunning that you wouldn't think it's a PC at first glance!
The creativity of these PC mod artisans is nearly limitless, as anything can be turned into a case shell, given enough space. Regardless of the type, it's not an easy task and often demands a considerable amount of effort. The end result, however, is a fantastic-looking PC setup that aligns perfectly with your preferences and the amount you're willing to invest.
Conclusion
With these four methods, PC users can easily achieve a visually appealing setup that aligns with their hobbies and desires. Wishing you swift success in creating a stunning and powerful PC setup that meets all your needs.
