This is kind of a shit article. Most of these are just old hardware that eventually had modern improvements, not "trends."
A "trend" is cold cathode black lights inside the case, not a silly naming scheme for CPU revisions.

Ya acrylic side cases where a trend, maybe 3D monitors but everything else in there was just specific technology that has been replaced by better technology..
IDK I would say 3d monitors are a trend that died pretty hard
A trend implies a level of popularity. There was none.
It's ultimately just failed (or "pre-successful") technology that wasn't able to do the job well enough at a sufficient price to develop a market.
I love my 3 monitor setup 🥲
How was IDE a hardware trend?
It's an XDA article, what did you expect.
None of these are trends. They're all hardware standards, and all but one of them are still very much here anyway
RGB. Please. Finding hardware that doesn't light up like a Christmas tree is harder than it should be. Even a simple power LED can light up an entire room.
Not anytime soon. Way too cheap to include(like cents for a mouse or ram and a few dollars for a keyboard) , and way too popular not to include. Well at least you can disable it.
right, you fan disabile them using their unique software which you have to install for every component, signing away your life (cough cough Disney) in the process

I remember my first serious build, blue acrylic case with as much black light reactive components I could get
I remember the first full build I did. All of my fans had LEDs, the case had LEDs. The first time I tried to play on it in the dark basement the SU was blinding. I disconnected all of the case LEDs, and replaced my fans for plain black ones.
Oh man I went through this phase too. I had the clear acrylic case and a bunch of those UV CCFL tubes.
The thing that I wish would go away is oversized graphics cards that take up 3 or more slots. There needs to be more options for liquid cooling that doesn't require modifying the card.
I think I’m misunderstanding your comment. Once you liquid cool the card, it’s no longer an oversized behemoth. My reference 4080S is only taking up a single slot.
Most graphics cards have massive air coolers that block other PCIe slots. I want more water cooled options since they are low profile. I just don't want to have to void the warranty on a brand new card to install a water block.
I know for sure that installing a water block does not void the warranty on reference Nvidia cards. I’ve read that Asus (and evga rip) are the same. Not sure about MSI, and have read that Gigabyte will try to void warranty.
It's illegal most places. (Magnuson Moss Warranty act in the US, but a bunch of other places have stronger warranty laws).

That would require cooler mount standards. I don't think AMD or Nvidia currently have a standard.
The worst is still around: that GPU's require more and more power. I wished more focus on efficiency. Not long until water cooling is mandatory, to get all the heat away.
They are. GTX 590 from 2011 has a TDP of 375W. RTX 4080 has 320W, while offering over ten times better performance. 4060 outperforms the 1060, 2060 and 3060 while having a lower TDP than any of them.
If you want low TDP, the RX 6400 is twice as powerful as the 590 while having a TDP of 53W.
It's the very top of the line stuff like 4090 that push the limit by achieving that very last 10% performance bump at the cost of using double the power, and that's kinda like complaining a Bugatti Veyron gets terrible highway MPG figures.
The lack of PsyX cards is upsetting.
Unfortunately those cards come and went so fast that the LLM that wrote this "article" didn't have enough data on this
The capacitor plague era, ever wonder why we don't see a lot of PC's in the early 2000s, this is why as everything with a cap would fail and kill the boards, essentially having to call on the oem to fix it.
Intel's slot CPU interface. Sure it cleaned up motherboard layouts but the need for more comprehensive cooling solutions that would soon follow made this a bad direction to go in.
Did bottom PSU ATX cases disappeared? Floor dust suckers.
Nope lol
