  • Hi, I don't know if I'm going to be much help but I'm positive I saw a pink pc - I think it was a disney themed one - in Curry's the other day. I have no idea what price it was but I'm sure I'm not imagining it..... Anyway - you could phone Curry's and find out.

    Hope you find one for your precious little girl.

    my very special daughter has spent most of last 18 months in Great Ormond street Hospital. I would like to get her a pink computer because that's what she wants x

    What county are you in, as I'm sure if theres someone close enough they could help you 'make' a normal PC turn pink.
    I'm willing to help if you're in my area..

    I love that hot pink colour for a pc. <looks thoughtfully at ancient cream lump of a tower on floor>


    There doesn't seem to be a lot around for pink computers.

    This uk site has a keyboard, specially designed for 4-11 year olds.

    There's a picture of it on an american site here

    I hope you find what you're looking for.

    I spent ages yesterday googling for a pink pc, just doesn't seem to be anything available in the UK though. Looks like a custom build job as others have mentioned.

  • Hi,

    You can buy pink Apple Imacs, though I'm not 100% sure if you'd want one to be honest. We had a turqoise one, and ended up selling it to buy a PC as it was uncompatible with a lot of sites, saying that, it was 5 years ago so it may be better.

    Hope your daughter is feeling better :) She sounds a lot like my little girl, so I know how you must be feeling, my daughter spent last year in hospital too.

    Good luck finding a computer :)
