I still don't see the appeal of RGB in your computer, personally. I just don't think it looks good.
I don't mind RGB as long as it's easy to turn off and it stays off forever.
What I do mind is that my desktop turned on the RGB is off, but as soon as I shut it down it turns on. And guess what's at the perfect angle to get blasted with the light? My bed. I eventually found the SEPARATE TOGGLE FOR RGB IN S5 STATE, but guess what constantly gets turned back on with every bios update?
My fucking RGB is hardwired, meaning I can't turn it off because it doesn't communicate with the motherboard. I did not ask for nor pay for this, it was an "add on" that Cyber Power tossed in for free...I hate it so much.

It really sucks, indeed. But I upvote the meme.
I'm in the same boat, wasted of time and money. I want a black box that is functional, not a night light with all the colors.

Preach. I don't even have a window on mine. I want my machine to blend into the room. All the showy stuff feels like you need to show off to justify the price.

Had one back when it was the hype, but its just annoying. Nowadays my case is a huge (enormous, but much space for cable management and airflow) black box. No panels, no light. Feels better

If you can pull off 250 watts of RGB you can grow plants in your PC case
...budgeting? Y'all don't just buy the meatiest beefcake PSU that microcenter has in stock?
I bought a 1200w PSU in like 2011 and it's chugging along through multiple upgrades and two different builds. They forgot to put the quit in that one
In 2021 I replaced my old PC power and cooling 750w PSU that I bought in like 2009. When I pulling it out I found a build date from 2006 on it. That thing was a great PSU.
PSUs are waaaaay more efficient when operating closer to their rated capacity. Pulling 200W through a 1kW power supply is like making a marathon runner breathe through a straw.
The sweet spot is the 40-60% load.
But it doesn't make that much of a difference. The efficiency swing is maybe 10%. Like an bronze 80 rated PSU will have a minimum efficiency of 80%, but even if you're at the 50% load mark it won't be over 90% efficient.
The main point (to me anyways) is that its dumb to pay more for a power supply just so you can pay "more* on your power bill. If your idle load is 100W and your gaming load is 300W, you've got no reason running more than a 600W PSU

Is there another option?
Like if you don't have at least 1kW PSU what happens when you need more power
The streetlights dim when I boot my machine.

Joke if you want but that's actually a really good idea if you want device longevity. And their in-house brand has been rock solid in every build I've made for a reasonable price

250W in lightning? Does your system need to be installed in a lighthouse and be visible from miles away???
For reference this literal lighthouse light only draws up to 200W: https://www.sealite.com/lighthouse-led-lights/
This would actually be really funny. I want my computer to glow like the sun
Mother of Board will you LOOK at the fucking HEAT SINK!?

Gaming is a naturally social activity, so its only natural to use as a "monitor" a digital projector with enough power for a small cinema room.
If your power consumption is actually 250 then go for a 500w PSU. You'll get better efficiency.
Anandtech (rip) used to be my go-to for PSU efficiency curves.
Also never cheap out on the PSU. If your shit PSU dies, it might fry every component in your PC, if your good PSU dies, you can just replace it.

Man, is 20w typical for (maybe a PCIe 5.0) SSD? It would be wild if we ditched moving parts in HDDs and ended up consuming more power
Also RGB doesn't use anywhere near 250w. Given that LED spotlights are usually around 25-75w, at 250w your PC would be too bright to look at. I have 9 RGB fans, along with a GPU and motherboard with RGB LEDs; the difference between RGB off and RGB on at full brightness is ~10w, measured from the wall.

I must be out of touch. What's RGB in this context?

Red Green Blue, got to have a ton of RGB lighting in their PC.
