Only a tard would have chosen differently
strictly over fan colors...(my opinion, of course!)
(One gets used to the lovely tans and dark brown after a while! SOon, you'll be demanding other shades of brown!)
First, I should mention that I
don't own any windowed cases and
do have several Noctua fans.
I think they're just caving to the prevalence of tempered glass. Like it or not, a lot of people
do care about the aesthetics of their gaming PCs, and that doesn't make them tards. Every time I read reviews or comment threads about Noctua's products, the #1 complaint is, by far, the color scheme.
This was long overdue. They did have a line of products with a grey color scheme, but those had inferior performance.
