back in my day people were bending over backwards to find the brightest possible blue LED's on the planet to make their beige boxes look cool.
Now, we all cower behind another blue beauty - bluetack, to hide the eye-searing brightness of themThe irony.
But aye, RM are a pain for it these days too :/
Have to say now that HP have gone all white now, all the new stuff ive seen has white rather than blue!
Blue is all the rage, wii, sky +
Green is so 90's
The Blue LED in my power cable for my Dell laptop is so bright it lights my room up of a night. Why???
HP do make there SANS flash nicely tho when being configuredHave to say now that HP have gone all white now, all the new stuff ive seen has white rather than blue!

Its not just blue!!!!
The last 2 DVD players I've bought (one for bedroom - upscaling one for living room) have red leds that you can see from your house never mind mine!
The one in the bedroom acts as a night light!

Must agree with that and HP SAS Drives must have about 4 LEDs in them as they are blue, green, yellow and redHP do make there SANS flash nicely tho when being configured
sata ones just have a simple blue light - i have an MSA 60 plus an MSA 20 which are both sata and doesnt do nice flashy stuff tho - the MSA2000 does which is SAS. my old place had an MSA 1000 which did it aswell!Must agree with that and HP SAS Drives must have about 4 LEDs in them as they are blue, green, yellow and red
MSA 1000 flashes a mix of green and orange

I must admit... I purchased two strips of LED Blue LEDS and stuck them on the back of my dual screens in my room, (they're on 24/7) the only reason why I got LG Flatron Screens was for the blue power buttons... its addictive.
If you get nice and shiney SUN/Oracle Kit you get the lovley pleasure of having Green LED's
They also have blue and orange ones I believe
I assume everyone's server cabs are the same mix of red, blue, green and orange LEDs as ours. S'like Blackpool illuminations on those early Winter mornings!
I think the majority you can see are blue in our cabs, largely due to RMs recent server offerings, but on a count, green would probably win because of our EMC SAN!
Our bedroom TV has a red LED so bright it burns the image of itself into your head. And then when you try to go to sleep all you can see is this bright red LED that was previously burnt into your head.
In dream land..... "I'm through on goal, here we go, pick this out the net ARGGGGGGHHHHHHH, WTF is that bright light?! Oh crud I've missed!"
Spoils my dreams!
I wish I knew why manufacturers put such bright LED's on things. I used to think that the blue LED on my on my PC's speaker system was bright until I got my Edimax NAS box which has Blue LED's on it that are so bright that they can light up my dining room
