They use crystals, and quantum, so they're obviously the real deal.

  We should star calling silicon chips crystals, we'll sound much more legit on the galactic level.

    (If you will permit the fanfic): Carter: I've finished comparing Goa'uld control crystals, all that glow is completely unnecessary. O'Neill: So they added lights inside closed boxes because…? Teal'c: The Goa'uld have always favoured displays of grandeur over practicality. O'Neill: Hold on. You're telling me the galaxy's self-proclaimed gods are flying around in gamer motherboards? Carter: Sir… Daniel: No, I think Jack's right. O'Neill: I am? Daniel: Glowing lights everywhere, gold trim, needlessly dramatic startup sequence. And they definitely treat us as pawns in their games. Teal'c: Indeed.

      My motherboard has useful lights. They illuminate according to the current stage of startup. I think it's CPU, RAM, VGA, and something else I don't remember. Got a RAM problem preventing boot? It hangs with RAM lit up. This is infinitely more useful than the arbitrary undocumented 2-digit BIOS codes that it also has.
