How much lighting is enough?
Definitive answer: As much or as little as the person building the PC wants.
For me the correct answer is zero.
For someone else the correct answer is All The Lights!!!
Both (and everywhere in between) are correct.
It's your PC you are building, so do what you want.
Depends on the [pc] case?
Some people have the need to spy/ stan on what their computer's internals is doing all the time. and I do get how fun that could be. The nsa/ kgb/ mi6/ ccp does that all the time. So why not lights? Interrogation lights sounds cool too.
but if the pc case isn't for that kind of thing, maybe no lights or the minimum you get from any discounted hardware is reasonable enough.
Any lights is too many lights, they are pointless and obnoxious IMO. I fucking hate how my current laptop has one of those stupid fucking rgb backlit keyboards which lights up to full brightness when the computer goes into standby but isn't closed.
The sooner manufacturers stop making this trash the better.
I'm glad they make LED parts for me and non LED parts for you. I'm personally very happy that so many components offer customizable lighting these days. At least for my desktop haha
Zero. Zero RGB is enough.
I don't need my bedroom lit up at night like an amusement park because the PC hardware makers think all gamers need Extryme Lighting.
i'm a no rgb at all person, if it were easier i would even desolder the ones on my raspberry pi fan but it's all a hunk of plastic
