£1000 Pink Build

[InsertName]

I have coaxed my mum into ascension, so I am wondering, what build would you recommend? I cannot find any good pink components.

 

Thanks all.

ok do you want straight pink or will pink and white do.

I don't think there are any pink components.  You'd either have to paint them yourself or get white parts and have pink leds so the white reflects the pink.  That is what I did with my rainbow PC.

I guess white with pink would work. I still have no idea, I only know black and red.

White with pink is definitely a lot easier than painting all your parts.

do you need a lot of storage or gpu performance

Pink and white is the way to go here

There's a really nice custom NZXT S340 site I saw a while back that might suit your needs for a pink yet effective case

http://www.colorware.com/showproduct.aspx?ProductID=692&SEName=nzxt-s340&c=aka-6lc1m$ak6-6l8jg$ak0-6l3ig

Add some white components and a pink LED light from something like a HUE+ and you're set

Maybe some niced sleeved extensions?

 

Edit: customized

It is for my mum to game, and my gaming PC doubles up as a NAS, with 12TB of storage, so storage shouldn't be a problem.

150 dollars? That is 15% of the budget...

Wasn't aware there was a budget

There are some value cases that are all pink but they're pretty awful so your options are limited

Are you open to doing a paint job yourself? Just start with a normal white S340 and go from there

What's the total budget?

But can it run crysis? ;d

Id recommend painting the parts yourself

[Thorimus]

DBrand might have some pink skins for hardware. I don't know, I haven't actually checked  But it's probably worth a look

Painting is possible but again, I would have it professionally done, even if it's $150

(rest of the budget can go towards nice pink sleeved extensions)

 

Keeps with the pink/white theme (with some black that I couldn't really avoid). My biggest concern is keeping the pink on a minimal and sleek level without it getting too tacky like some budget pink case options. If you want to go all out you could get some fans and custom paint their rings red (like some of the Corsair AF fans, couldn't find any already in pink)

If you want to save money then you could get something like a CXM550W for the PSU with all black cables, but that would make the case the only pink element in the build.

Depends how in depth you're willing to go here
