Does anyone know of any Pink Cathodes, Pink Leds, Pink Fans... you know just pink.

I was looking to make my girlfriend a gaming case, and she wants pink... not red :rolleyes:


I assume it would be possible to pull LEDS out of fans and replace with pink ones, but does anyone know of a place that actually sells them pink?

If anyone can help me find out, that would be great, thanks!
 
Search on newegg for red CFFLs. Reading the reviews, you'll find that a number of 'red' CFFLs are actually more of a pink. I bought a CFFL like that, and my parents made fun of me for weeks because of it :mad:
 
take red cathodes and wrap in rice paper or something semi-opaque? heh. never seen pink before...
 
There was a thread on how to make any color cold cathodes, I'll keep looking for it....

EDIT: Found it, check this out
 
Gimme a PM, I can help you out with lighting and wire covering. I can probably come up with some pink fans too.

Hexus: Thanks for linking my post. Glad to see people are actually reading the forums.

The PCToys red cathodes look RED.
 
You know, purple might work too, that was a good idea. She wants to do half the case in pink and half the case in another color to kinda contrast it.


I was thinking about the idea of just taking cathodes and wrapping it in something to change the color. I just wanted to make sure there wasnt just something out there.

As for the fans... thats the toughy. If i could find LED's with pink covers, i could also change the lights on the front of the case.

Maybe when this is done, ill build myself a girly case too... hehe.
 
I also built a pink computer for my ex-girlfriend, Its hard to find anything PINK, so I got her a black CM praetorian, got some white CCFLS, oredered a wavemaster side panel with window.

Then I went to the lighting store and purchased pink film paper, its the same material professional lighting guys use to change the colors of lights. The only exception being its a whole sheet of it and not an insert like the professionals use.

I cut and measured and just pasted it on with a special invisible paste I got from the hardware store, it's used for opaque surfaces. I pasted it on the inside not the outside. It took a while because I kept on getting air bubbles but I got it after a while.

It looked pretty damn cool because the white ccfls and pink film combined gave a sort of pinkish white flouresent glow. not the same of a regular cathode. It would get so bright that you wouldnt be able to see the components,

I would post pics but we broke up. It's ok, her parents payed for the whole job ;)
 
If you cover white led's with pink film or paint. Would it work???

I wonder. Anyone try it? :confused:

Yea I read CCFLS in there, but will it work with LED'd too? Maybe I am missing something :D
 
I dunno if you bought anything for your wiring yet, but lemme know if this will help you.

Wow that should REALLY help him out, its so bright it hurts my eyes.

Say isnt that the stuff they use in cars to hold wire routings together?:confused:

PS. Nice website, I may buy a few things from you considering you are in the same state as me. Hopefully youll get more stuff posted up :)
 
Those tubes are EXCELLENT.....


And yeah... I tried getting UV CCFL once... I ended up getting "purple"... which turned out to be PINK....


..............

It's now my biggest joke among my college friends...

Yes it is. I've got a huge FS/FT thread for it. Sold lots so far, but still have lots. I also have some really nice purple.

Yeah, the website is coming along nicely. I've been so busy doing "actual work" that I haven't had any time to devote to working on the site.
