Asus has simply unveiled the Asus TUF Gaming GT302 PC case that brings with it a chunky, utilitarian styling and help for its again to the longer term (BTF) motherboard and case customary. This technique sees all of your motherboard’s cables directed straight to the again of the case, for a brilliant clear look within the entrance of the case.
Whereas it’s too early to say if Asus‘ newest case will do sufficient to earn a spot on our greatest PC case information, it’s among the many most compact circumstances thus far to help BTF and has a couple of different methods up its sleeves.
Probably the most distinguished characteristic of the brand new case is its trio of ARGB followers within the entrance, and the very giant, square-holed entrance panel by which they shine. It’s a far cry from the double glass paneled fronts of many common dual-chamber circumstances, or the slick styling of the Fractal Design North. Nevertheless, there’s a particular rugged, easy appeal to it.
As Asus says: “its common geometry and clear traces give it an easy fashion that’s straightforward to match with nearly any element available on the market.” We wouldn’t disagree.
Accessible in black or white (Asus makes some extent of noting the included cables are all white too, in contrast to some white case rivals) with a single glass facet panel, the opposite most seen further with this case is that its high panel will be fully eliminated for simple entry and set up of a top-mounted cooler.
The rear/reverse facet panel can be fully perforated to permit for glorious total air flow. Intriguingly, the panels may also be swapped spherical, which is a neat and novel concept, however we’re undecided why anybody would do it with this fashion of case. Then once more, perhaps there’s a intelligent modding alternative for somebody to make the reverse facet of their PC look adequate to point out off by a window.
The mid-tower case helps as much as EATX motherboards, and as talked about, it has ample holes within the motherboard tray space to permit for BTF motherboards for use and for his or her cables to be simply routed to the again of the case. Graphics playing cards measuring as much as 407mm lengthy may also be accommodated, however there’s solely the choice for a horizontal mount, not a vertical mount.
In the meantime, within the lined base part of the case, you’ll discover the standard space for the PSU to be positioned, whereas in entrance of it’s a arduous drive and SSD cage with room for 2 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives. Two additional 2.5-inch drives will be hooked up to the rear of the motherboard tray.
The entrance IO panel, which is located on the entrance edge in a manner that appears just a little unpleasant to us, consists of two USB-A 3.0 ports, a headphone jack, and a USB-C port. There’s sadly no point out of a hoverboard charging port.
Asus hasn’t revealed an actual launch date and value but, however we’d count on this to be a low to mid-priced case and for it to reach in retailers comparatively quickly.
In case you’re tempted by the look of this case, however aren’t certain the way to truly put all of the elements you want inside it, try our the way to construct a gaming PC information for step-by-step directions.
