Pink Cases

[Ostardva]

Now hear me out.

I'm prospectively building a PC for a friend at some point in the future. She's happy with any case colour but her dream would be pink. I've had a browse on the internet. My options are limited for the following reasons when specfically looking at pink cases:

1. I live in the UK and not much is available here or I have to pay additional shipping.

2. There doesn't actually seem to be much out there?

 

I've found the following so far but nothing that can justify the cost, and ideally just want a cheap-er case that I can whack some fans in with half-decent ventilation so she can do light gaming on it regularly:

Apevia X-QPACK3-PK

Apevia X-Dreamer 4

Aerocool Dead Silence

 

None of these are ideal either because of the combined price of shipping and the case itself, or the size / overkill of the case. I'm looking for something cheap and effective, but pink. 

Halp? Thanks in advance! mATX or ITX preferred.

Paint is a thing. C:

Have you already built the pc/bought the parts? There's probably a way to fit the Aerocool DS case in the budget.

Nah I haven't built it at all yet. I'm going to cannibalise half of her old PC as she's not got a big budget and I play the same game she predominantly does so more or less have an idea. I'd go in to the build but that'd be a different topic/time I'd guess by forum rules (joined today).

You could check out Silverstone SG13, it is an ITX case and comes in pink.

A few options she might like

 

White and purple - super nice! and arguably smarter looking than pink

Sadly she doesn't like purple. Though doesn't mind white. My heart is set on getting pink for her, but I've found a white case I'm happy with if I have to settle for white: AvP Hyperion EV33W

The Aerocool case is one I already looked at. Bit much on all fronts and not... pink enough? See the Apevia cases from the OP... they're... pink.

 

By the way, took a look at your YouTube earlier and subscribed. Love what you've got up there!

Not a problem! I'd offer to help but you don't need it and I don't know what I could do, hah.

Good sir, plastidip implies DIY... but intrigued. 

 

P.S. What does the SNIP mean in your post where you first quoted me?

THIS LOOKS GOOD, although I can't find any UK listings for a pink version?

I get some help from friends but mostly everything is done by me, I just need more gear haha but money is tight

 

Snip is because I deleted the text in you post so I could quote you without making the forum messy

Plastidip is super easy though, and the finish it really nice!!  just spray it and boom and it peels off easily later if wrong, or they want to remove it!

Well say hi if you need a fellow Brit's help! You never know.

I think I've seen something similar to Plastidip. Some console communities use it for modding in bath tubs I think? Odd but it's popped up on my Facebook lately for Gen 1 PS3s. I'll give it a miss as I won't be the person using it and wouldn't want to complicate it for her. ^___^''
