Considering that 49 out of 50 PC cases caters to those who want all the bling, I don't see how me wanting more functional cases makes anyone feel bad. I don't want to take anybody's toys away, I just want more variation in case design, I don't understand why is this such a "hot take".To each their own I guess. For over twenty years I built PC's without any lighting or a side window on my case, mainly because they weren't around or they were cheap "plexiglass" panels. I didn't care much for al the bling anyway back then.The older I get, the more I enjoy seeing something I put hours into building myself. I don't buy hardware based on looks, but if it looks good after putting it all together then that's great. Putting a window on a printer or an AC unit as you mentioned doesn't make sense since nobody puts time into building those themselves. I'm sure there are cut away models at the factory. Also I'm not sure if you know but there are refrigerators that allow you to see inside them before opening them.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. People enjoy certain things or hobbies , so I do not understand why some people insist on trying to make them feel bad about what they enjoy. I will never understand the mentality in the world now. Maybe it was always there, but it's just heightened now.
If the point is to feel pride in something you built, there are better suited hobbies than building a PC. But in year 2 after the Verge, building a PC might actually be an achievement to be proud of
Don't get me wrong I like building PCs too, but my satisfaction comes from achieveing the best possible cooling with the least amount of noise in the smallest case humanly possible. And not from fitting christmas lights on it. In fact it is almost impossible to find components that don't have some kind of lighting on it. So if anyone should feel bad is me, whose preferences are completely ignored.
