They make RGB LED bias lights that stick to the back of big screen TVs.
Lots of programmable options. Mine are set to slowly change colors over time.
They're practical too; They reduce eye strain at night when watching TV in a darkened room.

I've got those, just the white ones, it really does help reduce strain and improve 'perceived' black levels. We're watching The Expanse now and on my 75" 4k TV with all the lights out, those bias lights really help. It's beautiful show.

Nice, you can't do that with a Raspberry Pi. Or can you?

Probably could.
Bet that rig will play a mean game of pong !!:mosh: What game did you build it for?

Edit: I see Cyberpunk, is it any good?

Eh, I played a little bit, didn't really care for it. Now I just tinker and benchmark and such.

Does it double as a white noise generator?

Actually it's very quiet when I'm not running it full out. Fans all controlled with multiple profiles from Super-Duper Silent to Full-On F-16. :D

Looking forward to the weekend, I've got some new RAM coming with Samsung B-die chips, should allow me to squeeze a few more points on some benchmarks. Kind of like handloading to get a few extra FPS out of ammo.

So I built a new computer and my video card had RGB lighting - programmable LEDs. It's all the latest craze in computing stuff, just adding some flash. My water cooling all-in-one setup for my CPU did, as well. Also there was an RGB strip on the case. So you can sync all of it up (except the video card, dangit EVGA!) to run together. Pretty neat.

So I decided to get a couple more fans to add in some more, then kinda ended up going over the top.

Here's how it ended up. Lol, it's been fun, and therapeutic for me, I like tinkering with computers.

And a little video of it in action.

Nice . . . I built my first PC 20 years ago. That Lian Li case was sweet. While I've continued to build them here and there I just bought a pre-built one late last year to replace some old ones that were 5-6 years old.
