For years, computer enthusiasts had only two choices when it came to the color of their computers: beige and... well, okay, seems they had only one choice. Other than the occasional oddball black Pc case, there wasn't much that was mainstream beyond that until Apple released the iMac. Women everywhere rejoiced as they flocked to buy these little guys. I used to sell computers a number of years ago, and would shake my head in amazement as they ignored my attempts to explain the computer's features, instead just cooing about how cute it was.

Apple was the only fashion-friendly computer on the scene for a while, so some folks had to make a difficult choice between power and compatibility, or style. A fair number of people, as well as an old girlfriend of mine, choose the latter. (But hey, this was that same girlfriend who bought a new Volkswagen Beetle for the sole reason that it came with a flower sprouting from the dash!)

It took enthusiast gamers to combine creativity and design with rigs that could handle the latest software and powerful graphics cards. Now, major manufacturers such as Dell are shipping computers sporting cutting-edge designs for even the most novice of users. Other manufacturers like DFI are even giving their motherboards makeovers, with more flashing lights and UV reactive PCI slots.

That said, every computer enthusiast knows that a great computer is more than just its CPU tower. Great rigs, especially for gaming, are a synergy between the tower and a host of other peripherals. Unfortunately, except for the occasional keyboard , you'd think manufacturers thought style ended with your CPU.

Well one company, Realworld Technology, has decided to take the trend of lighting up cases and extend it to their Sicuro speaker line. And they were not content to simply hot glue some LED's onto the speaker boxes. They went a step further, making the activity of those lights correspond to the action going on in your game!
