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.

You guys don‘t turn off you computer when going to sleep?

Maybe I am oldschool or just german but I always shutdown the system and then also turn off the Steckdosenleiste (what is the english word? Power strip?)

Power is generally very cheap in the US, so the ~5 watt power draw is nothing. Rough calculation would be something like 50 cents per month.
