Just when you thought that RGB had reached it's pinnacle, ASUS releases a case designed and devoted to showing off your RGB in a broader spectrum. I bet you Liberace would of bought one.

*Some RGB included.

No external 5.25" drive bay 2/10. I actually like it, but I need external 5.25" drive bays FFS. Tired of having to buy full tower cases these days...

Used "would of" instead of "would've" 3/10.
 
I actually really like the addition of the straps on top to carry it with. I have the Corsair C70 right now and the handles are great for when I have to move the tower between my desk and the VR room.

$280 though? No thanks.

I be guessing dat dem po Kentucky folk be rubbing off of me.
 
I don't think Liberace would have been foolish enough to use an all glass panel case. He would have had some mesh on there to keep it cool. Gold mesh with sequins, but mesh.

Why not use an external drive enclosure? It’s not ideal but it will give you a lot more case options.
 
Why all of the focus on lighting? Everything nowadays seems to focus more on making your PC into the Griswold house at Christmas. I prefer to stare at the stuff on the monitor connected to the PC, not the PC itself.
I just want a case that is silent(or as close as possible), has good air flow/cooling, and is easy to work in. All of the other stuff is just a distraction.

Now if only Aura had all the features needed for customization and was actually working, this would make sense....IT DOES NOT!

Aura has generally worked well for me. I've had more trouble out of MSI's and GIGABYTE's RGB sollutions.

Ahh. I don't venture that way too often. My sister went to KCU there in Grayson.
I pass through Ashland every so often to go help out our Huntington branch.

Yeah Ashland is a little hole in the wall place, but much better than the other places I lived in since I moved up here ( Catlettsburg, Kenova, Ceredo ).

Performs pretty well for a double tempered glass case. Interior has its quirks like most cases, but seems easy to work with. $280 for a mid-tower case, though...

Aye, that's a little steep in my opinion.
If I was going to spend that much on a case, it would definitely be going towards a Lian Li and not an ASUS. And if I wanted bling I would just find my old CCT's and throw them in my HAF.
 
the pinnacle of RGB will be when they can beam it directly into your brain - that will also mark the end of the human race.

And after they beam it directly into your brain, some will be able to output it as a form of kinetic energy like Cyclops, and burn down ancient cathedrals with this new found power called RGB.

I guess the rest of us will simply have to output it as feces... RGB feces...

The thing a lot of companies don't get when shoving glass on the front of their cases is how to properly design airflow behind it. Looks like ASUS, or whoever they hired to make this case, took that at least somewhat into account.
