    It's getting a lot more difficult to find memory with decent specs that doesn't have a gaudy, functionally-pointless set of heat spreaders between which is crammed a translucent bit of acrylic atop a set of "mandatory for high-performance" LEDs. I want fast, low-latency memory, but I don't want to compete with one of Miley Cyrus' stage performances when it comes to lighting. My RAM should not look like said singer as she straddles a wrecking ball or licks a sledgehammer with that awful, dirty, dangling tongue.

    The cheesy design is there to distract customers from the fact that price-fixing by DRAM manufactures have kept the prices of memory modules really high.

    could not agree more, these look "almost like" the G Skill ones, but they are way more fugly in comparison.....Vengeance indeed, Vengeance against something that actually looks tasteful and inspired, and Vengeance against ensuring it is of a reasonable cost.

    To each own, the only RGB or whatever that I have ever seen that was actually done insanely well was a computer case from inwin the 805 Infinity, that was some pretty nifty way of doing things and there were some case fans from Enermax or Akasa (vegas ones)

    I very much agree with you however, the RGB/LED that these companies use is gaudy as hell often enough the color produced is not every consistent either which makes it that much worse.

    I personally think RGB memory is perfect. The perfect amount of RGB for a computer (I don't use RGB or lighting on anything else).

    Corsair is still using sub standard memory sticks though. I want G.skill 3200 Cas 14 in a Corsair module.
