Sometimes it seems that PC is more common in the case design than anything with the fashion world. After all, it is easy to see the shiny new rigs posted online by creative types, take a look at your aging, and wonder if you should meet over time and do something different. We have seen that the novel venting has begun to emerge as a trend, and this Asas Chessis has considered me my own upgradation.
Asus Prime AP202 is a panoramic matx chassis, which has a curved temporary glass panel, which wraps forward and around the side. This is not new, but when combined with a major slot vent on the lower half (above a shield about the power supply) I think it is an absolutely delicious combination of modern case design elements.
And it is more and more that I can say for many curved window enclosures, it is sure. Asus states that its patent slot gives optimal cooling for vent design GPU, and is completed with an integrated ArGB light band controlled by Abha Sink.
Thinking about it, the position of an intake vent under the graphics card fans is a very good idea. Pulling the cold air from the bottom of the case, running the most part of it directly into the GPU, and allowing the rest from the top into the liquid cooling radiator is a good thermodynamic theory.
A subject that I know relatively rare, but I am sure that the heat increases. So they call me a hardware specialist, you know. Anyway, Jacob Ridley and I looked at a fair some trick venting solutions in Computex 2025, such as Lian Lee Vector V200 and its slanting bottom side panels and rear lower vents, so it is a trend to keep an eye on. Here is something else that we found on our journey around the show floor:
Asus says that Prime AP202 420 mm long supports graphics cards, which should be that MSI RTX 5090 will actually fit something inside like the SOC.
It is quite impressive for a micro-ATX chassis, and shows how internal room can be made by moving the traditional intake down and down, rather than jammed two or three big fans in front of the case.
I prefer the band, especially the black (or white, depends on the model) around the case window. It is just a matter of personal preference, but every time I see a fishboal-style case I cannot help, but feel that they look a bit gorgeous.
I think this is just a psychological move, because I am sure Asus has put some black-film on the edge, but by creating a visual barrier it makes it overbuilt and stronger instead of prone to delicate and prone to a casual kick.
And talking about strength, it seems that Asus has taken special care with rapraound glass. This clearly undergoes a five-step construction process that “approaches aerospace standards”. I will not throw out of a window, to find out what it means, but the point is created. It is difficult, Asus says. I want one, I say I say
Pricing has not yet appeared on the Prime AP202 product page, but looking at the good look of it yet (never pay attention to all engineering in that glass), I suspect that it will be cheaper. Nevertheless, it is a trend to keep an eye, it is all venting business. If your case is starting to show your age, then something like this may soon be at some point in your future.
