Now, I probably love my car more than my computer, but when I hear the word "flashy" I think tasteless. When I'm in my car, I don't want to draw anymore attention than needed, so I mod it subtley, but it can still perform.
Now my computer on the other hand, it's flashy as it can be, ton's of LEDs and the case is pretty neat looking, and it's a nice gaming rig for what I use it for. Thing is, I don't race anyone on my computer, so I don't need it to be a sleeper.
