If you’re a Sanrio fan that’s been looking to better rep your mascot of choice on your rig, you’ll want to prick up your ears: on the showfloor at this year’s Computex, PC component brand darkFlash unveiled four fresh new looks for its luxury DS950V PC case.
With the tagline of ‘powered by cute, crafted for you,’ the co-branded series of PC cases includes DS950V designs for PomPomPurin, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, and Hello Kitty. Each mascot’s name features in a colour-coordinated banner at the top of their fishtank-style case, while unique decals decorate the 270° glass panels as well as the white chassis.
The 6-inch IPS display on the front of the tower also enjoys characterful animations that display system temps and fan speeds, too. Now I have even less excuse to keep putting off catching up on Hello Kitty Island Adventure’s City Town DLC.

darkFlash announced a similar Sanrio collaboration at last year’s Computex, specifically daubing their MOTI Mini PC cases in a suite of limited-edition, characterful colorways. The DS950V case is a good deal chunkier.
Accompanying cards on the show floor list overall dimensions of 445 x 220 x 445 mm, making it only a whicker-width’s smaller than the standard version of this PC case. Beyond that, none of these Sanrio editions is all that different from the white version of the DS950V PC case, with each tower offering support for ATX, Micro ATX, and ITX motherboards.

I’m chuffed that my favourite good boy Cinnamoroll clearly has the best design of the four—on account of his colour palette already complementing the white chassis. Still though, none of these is especially mind-blowing and arguably you could achieve a similar effect with your own set of Sanrio stickers.
With that in mind, it’s perhaps telling darkFlash has not yet announced either pricing or release information for these cute cases. Character collabs for hardware like this tend to cost a premium (trust me). So, if you’re desperate for, say, a little extra PomPomPurin on your PC, our Kara recommends the Sanrio DLC for Desktop Mate as one option that’s likely to be much more affordable than any of darkFlash’s PC cases.
