Pink or Purple Case Recommendations

[WarmEngine]

Are there any cases out there that are offered in colors (Pink/Purple) that aren't cheap and bad quality?  Everything I'm finding isn't from a known case manufacturer which causes me concern.

 

The Pop Air by Fractal Design is probably my frontrunner right now.

 

PC will be the first for my 9 year old so while cooling is important I don't plan on throwing a 4080 in there.  She mainly plays Roblox right now.

Vetroo al600, lian li 205, vetroo 03, adata xpg starker air, apevia elite prism, bitfenix nova se, silverstone seta a1,...

 

All fine really. Some are cheaper made than others but in the end its a case and I've used over half of these with all being a fine box for the computer.

 

Sure the vetroo, bitfenix and adata are more flimsy but they are also like way cheaper. Thr only time you'll feel the difference is when you are building in it. Which is fine. It holds togheter and works which is really all you need in the end.

still looking for options? (I don't promise I can find more good ones though)

Sure!  I’m not building until closer to Christmas.  Just trying to determine a case way in advance of that since that’s the only part I’m hung up on.

I have seen and worked on several builds in the Phanteks XT View: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/RtFmP6/phanteks-xt-view-atx-mid-tower-case-ph-xt523v1-dwt01

It takes very well to RGB LEDs and to a coat of self-etching primer and automotive spray paint. 

 

If you want something a little more directly Pink! the Lian Li Lancool 205 is a little pricy but absolutely glorious to work in. 

 

I cannot speak directly to their ease to build in but there are plenty of sixletter $100-ish pink cases; a few that stand out as "probably the better option" are from Vetroo, a smalltime Chinese OEM vendor: The AL800 ( https://vetroo.com/collections/case/products/vetroo-al800-atx-pc-case?variant=47129461653823 ) is a vague clone of a handful of others combined and the M03 ( https://vetroo.com/collections/case/products/vetroo-m03-m-atx-gaming-pc-case-4-colors?variant=45835469947199 ) I swear is a clone of Some Phanteks case i've seen. 

 

If you're going ITX (onboard GPU w/ space for an upgrade down the line?) the Cooler Master NR200P comes in a painful bright pastel ("Flamingo") pink as was mentioned above; do not chase the Sakura limited edition unless you want to import it from Japan at a high price exceeding $300. If you must stoop to the levels of an ITX SilverStone case, they got you: https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Factor-Computer-Mini-ITX/dp/B07T7TFQMK

I figure you're probably doing at least some of this, but hold off on building the PC, buy the core parts cheap, and get your daughter involved a bit! For Christmas, print out some options (some pink, some white, some blue, some green, etc) and play elimination ("this or that?") until you find the Perfect case, then order the parts (the case) and have her "help" (as much as you can) when you build it all. This means you can a) test that everything works right behind the scenes (ala LTT's builds) while also b) having a chance to preload games and windows and such so that she's ready to go the day of, not doing the boring windows installation. Does it mean you'll have to shrug off a few broken seals? I can guarantee you she won't care and doing it together will see her treat her first PC a whole lot nicer because she had input into it. 

Extra advice: If you can, splurge on a good modular SFX power supply. EVGA's Supernova GM series is what I've standardized on in all my builds and the Cablemod cables you can get for them are primo - use the E-series cables. While more expensive, you can get their cables in the custom configurator in pink and purple.
