Abstract
A method and system of controlling computer system external effects. At least some of the illustrative embodiments may be a computer system comprising a processor (wherein a computer system user interacting with software executed on the processor triggers a software event), and an external effects controller coupled to the processor (wherein the external effects controller controls at least one device being a purely aesthetic device or a non-aesthetic device operated in a manner for aesthetic reasons). The computer system user selectively associates the at least one device to the software event such that, if associated, upon occurrence of the software event an operational state of the at least one device is changed by the external effects controller.
