When designing a gaming system, it is easy to get wrapped up in all of the details for the build and forget something as essential as the space that it’ll occupy. While there are some rather extravagant solutions out there, sometimes simple is better, and the Genesis HOLM 510 RGB could fit those needs. This minimalist design offers a number of modern features without breaking the bank and keeps things stylish at a suggested $319 retail price...

Given the price point I'm concerned about build quality.

Definite catch-22 though, right?

I'm here looking for a standing desk at some point too. After I figure out monitors, which depends on video cards, which...

Now RGB in desks. RGB in f*cking furniture. You have got to be kidding me. When will this nonsense end?

I'll give you the same RGB spiel I give for other 'computer' stuff: being able to pick a lighting color or scheme is nice.

It doesn't have to be a unicorn puke rave lightshow. It can be subtle.
 
I'll be honest, All the lights in my office are still incandescent.

Love the tone and softness.

Yes I know, I've done the same with my H100i, and I get on my clients about disabling the default rainbow light shows of their hardware and manually setting a color scheme. But do we honestly need lighting in furniture? We don't need to RGB all the things. I thought it was excessive having RGB lighting on DIMMs and SSDs and HDTVs/monitors and whatever the f*ck else, but a f*cking desk?! What's next, my couch? My bed? My toilet? Computer hardware I can understand, but furniture is just excessive.

Then don't look at it from the consumer electronics 'bling' perspective, but rather that of 'smart' bulbs and so on, a direction toward which I assume and hope that RGB is converging.

I'm here putting lights behind my monitor just for work comfort, RGB strips behind TVs for the same, and so on. I tend to work and game with the lights low myself, so I can't say that I'm too bothered by lighting on a desk. I'd probably have wound up doing it myself!

It'll never end when you have kids like my son. He came walking into my work-area this weekend while I was working on his new PC and blerted out "Now that's COOL!", referencing the RGB fans that were visible from the front of the machine.

That makes me sad. But to be fair my son has ZERO appreciation for what's in a computer. And ZERO appreciation for what it means to run at ultra high settings as opposed to potato settings. He just wants to play the game. For over a year he was playing on a tv that lost the blue until I got him a new one. Games became new again for him. lol. So sad.

And 319 dollars?! No thanks I'll stick with an Ikea solution.

My son is the exact same way.

Now, he does tinker with computer parts, and he got to build his own computer as a christmas present last year. But he happily plays on integrated graphics, and he would just as soon play PC Building Simulator (where he can cheat and get infinite money to buy any parts he wants) as actually do anything with real hardware.

He's getting to the point where I'll hear him talking about "frames" with his friends on discord - so he's ~almost~ there... I don't think he's drawn the connection between the buzzword "frames" that he hears on Discord and hardware yet though.

Also, typing that out, it makes me sad that they only are talking about "frames" and no one cares how it looks. No wonder those 500Hz TN panels sell so well :confused:
