Great support because I'm one of those females . . . although I wouldn't build a pink PC, nor would my toolbox and tools be pink. However, I applaud the young ladies who assert themselves with their pink builds! Now, if you gave me the stuff for a purple build, I think I'd be onboard!
FWIW, I've lived in a male dominated world most of my life. In fact, I taught my late husband of 51 years how to work on cars. When we worked on an outside project, he usually let me take the lead . . . that is, if I knew more about it than he did. If he knew more, I let him take the lead.
Thing is, early on, I threatened guys in the male dominated technical world, but as the years have gone by, I and my fellow lady techies have gained more and more acceptance.
Thank you to those who have decided not to be threatened by us gals.
If people can have RGB my girls can have Pink PCs. They're actually getting rather common, but there's little common about my beloved's pink Apevia. My 16 yr old is keen on computer science. My 14 yr old is big on literature and psychology. My 12 yr old coppertop is big on mechanics and she loves sports. She's a ray of effervescent sunshine that lights up a room wherever she goes. Personally, I think she wanted to honour her mother by building a pink DIYPC. (And of course, there's her girlie friends whom she loves to game with and put on lan parties.) Her own main PC is black and blue just like Dad's and she wouldn't trade it for the world.
I'm not sure if DIYPC is still around, but they were getting pretty popular before the global epidemic thing. I have noticed that APEVIA is still being sold. Those are only two companies that sell pink computer cases. My daughter's generation think it's all well and dandy for a girl to have a pink PC and the coppertop brought home a troop of boys from school who loved to game. None of them batted and eyelash but stood in amazement and stood in line for a chance to test drive coppertop's pink PC. It can handle Mine Craft mods so they're impressed. Don't ask... I don't play Mine Craft.
Nobody has Mamma bear's title beat when it comes to pink though. Folks, this is about as pink as it gets.
And despite the huge length of this case I still had a fun time installing a Noctua NH-D15 in the thing. I had to take out the side fan, which is a 240mm piece of pink plastic.
The pictures really don't do this thing justice. She does a lot of knitting and crochet so those fibres tend to collect inside over time. I'm seriously considering modding the side panel with a sheet of glass instead.
And for those who like the retro analog look one is not to be disappointed. The gauges actually work!
Open dee doah and viola! Mega USB 3, a multi-card reader, CD/DVD ROM drives, and yes, a RAID cage, that she has grown to love over the years, as it generates dbl copies of her archives. On the right side are her Operating Systems. That door does an excellent job of keeping the dust out of her ports. Underneath the cage is a spring-loaded drawer where she keeps her USB sticks and other knick-knacks. I apologize for the fuzzy pictures. I'm not really much of a photographer.
So yup... Pink really is a thing. Not really
my thing, but as they say, to each their own.
Methinks we are peers in the GWN but since I married an American I'm learning to apologize less, eh? I'm certainly not about to apologize for all this snow.
