00:00 I built a custom Barbie theme PC.

00:02 I'm so proud of it.

00:03 They don't make too many cute pink cases,

00:05 so I had to take things into my own hands.

00:06 I had the white Thermaltake Tower 200 case

00:09 and I painted it this cute pink shade.

00:11 I had to let the paint cure for like two or three days,

00:13 but when it was finally cured,

00:14 I could put in all the hardware.

00:16 Favorite component in this whole build

00:17 is the Galaxy 4070 GPU,

00:19 which just comes pink like I didn't even have to paint it.

00:21 Then I replicated the box art in Photoshop.

00:23 I had to create a brand new file

00:25 because I couldn't find any high quality files

00:26 on the internet,

00:27 but I've literally never applied a vinyl before, you guys.

00:29 I was so sad because this vinyl cost me $93 to print out

00:33 and I literally thought that I just tossed it all

00:34 down the trash and broke it.

00:36 But your girl is resourceful,

00:37 so you already know I salvaged it.

00:39 And here is the final build.

00:40 Honestly, the vinyl doesn't look that bad.

00:42 I think next time I will probably pay

00:43 for a professional to apply it,

00:45 but it was a fun learning experience.

00:46 And now I have a Barbie PC

00:48 to play Barbie dress up games in 200 FPS.

00:50 And this is what the inside looks like without the doll.

00:52 I have a Kraken cooler in there

00:53 so you can put any gift on the screen.

00:55 (upbeat music)

00:57 [BLANK_AUDIO]
