Purple PC components?

[Dzirre]

I want to build a white and purple PC but am not sure where to find purple components. I want to have a white case with some purple components and accents, does anybody know of any purple components or where to find any? Thanks

Good luck, I don't think I've ever seen a purple computer part before. 🙁

You're gonna have to paint some of the components purple.

for example, get a white motherbord and paint the heatsinks and ram purple

It isn't as hard as you'd think to paint of parts. Try lookin up some videos

Okay thanks, do you have any suggestions for an LGA 2011 board?

But the paint will mess with the heat dissipation property of the heatsinking surface

If you use regular paint, yes it would reduce the cooling, but things like vinyl paint works amazing and doesnt affect your cooling
But you really have to read about the paint so you make sure it will work on the certain components.

You can go into an Autozone and tell them you need something to paint the dashboard of your car. Will usually find something that will work great on plastic pc parts.

Wow, interesting. I did not know that.

I think your best bet is to go with a white build and get an interior led light strip that can be purple.

Yes purple LEDs will work, but if you really wanted to paint anything the only thing hard to paint is the graphics card.
Ram and motherboard heatsinks are quite easy. Again just research the correct paints to use.

Maybe go with purple LEDs for now, then later on after you do research you can at least paint the ram and mobo heatsinks?

Okay thanks everyone for your replies.
