Having launched their gaming-focused Mek Mini, Mek Ultra, and VR Go 2.0 computers over the past year, ZOTAC can now address virtually all segments of gaming PC market. But even with their current lineup, there are customers that require something that looks uncommon and exclusive. To that end, ZOTAC is working on colorful versions of its Mek Mini desktop, including, of course, a pink version.
Back at CES, the company originally demonstrated four Special Color Editions of its Mek Mini systems, with cases in green, white, grey, and red. So for this year's Computex, ZOTAC showcased a pink version of its Mek Mini, to complete their rainbow lineup.
As far as hardware is concerned, ZOTAC’s Mek Mini Special Color Edition systems are based on Intel’s Core i5-9400F six-core processor, and is accompanied by NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card with 8 GB of GDDR6. The PCs are also equipped with 16 GB of DDR4-2666 memory, a 240 GB PCIe/NVMe M.2 SSD, as well as a 2 TB 2.5-inch hard drive.
ZOTAC yet has to announce details about the availability of its Mek Mini Special Color Edition systems, but since they are based on Intel’s 9th Gen Core processors (vs. 8th Gen Core CPUs on regular models), expect them to be available when the manufacturer feels a need for a refresh of its existing compact gaming PCs.

"...four Special Color Editions of its Mek Mini systems, with cases in green, white, grey, and red. So for this year's Computex, ZOTAC showcased a pink version of its Mek Mini, to complete their rainbow lineup."The only two colors out of that lineup that are actually part of the rainbow are red and green. We could debate whether orange should be considered distinct from red and yellow, or whether a distinction needs to be drawn between blue (a.k.a. cyan) and indigo (a.k.a. the blue of RGB), but since pink is a mix of red and blue, it is unambiguously a non-spectral color.

Or, ya know, he could mean it in the colloquial way that it is just a bunch of any colors.Smell This - Monday, June 24, 2019 - link
I'm thinking the red/black out-sells all other *special color editions* combined, and Zotac is generally clue-less ...

In what universe is pink a mix of red and blue? It's a mix of red and white.Old_Fogie_Late_Bloomer - Sunday, June 23, 2019 - link
Pink at full saturation is magenta, a non-spectral color produced by red and blue light mixed together. Pink is not usually thought of as being at full saturation, so you are correct to the extent that it is a mix of magenta and white.Despite Donut's many objections, his pink armor is, at best, light magenta, not light red.

Rainbow per my 4 years old (target demographic of this case): more than 3 colors, literally any color combination qualifies.AshlayW - Friday, June 21, 2019 - link
Disappointing choice of CPU. Essentially zero upgrade path, poor forward-looking performance and filled with vulnerabilities. These would have been great with 2600 or 2600X in them, for likely less money.I do like the appearance of the pink one though.

Yeah, that's a 65W CPU in a fairly small case. Combined with the GPU, it might get rather warm inside one of those systems.PeachNCream - Friday, June 21, 2019 - link
Stupid Killer NICs. Those can do die in a fire.CheapSushi - Saturday, June 22, 2019 - link
There's nothing wrong with them. They're Qualcomm Atheros. This old junk meme needs to die in a fire. The only difference with Killer NICs is that they have router-like function included via software. That's all.
