✅ Authorized ASUS Partner in Egypt | Official 1-Year Warranty | Expert PC Building Consultation Available

⚡ Engineering Highlights at a Glance:

• FSC-Certified Ash Wood Front: Six-stage thermowood process protects the wood from insects, humidity, and heat while adding a glossy finish.
• High-Airflow Mesh Side Panel: Prioritizes thermal performance over showing internals, with a latch that secures the left panel to help prevent intrusion.
• 33% Porosity Front Grille: Open front panel with an 18mm grille design for maximum air intake.
• Thicker Pre-installed PWM Fans: Two 160 x 32mm front ring-blade fans plus one 120 x 28mm rear fan, delivering up to 138 CFM total airflow.
• 240mm Top Radiator Support: Fits 120/140/240mm radiators for AIO liquid cooling.
• Builder-Friendly Design: 5-port PWM fan hub, tool-free 3.5-inch HDD cage, detachable PSU bracket, and rear cable clips.
• Modern Front I/O: USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C, two USB 3.2 Gen 1, and one headphone/microphone combo jack.

Size and Clearance Planning

The case measures 412 x 225 x 503mm and weighs 8.61 kg. Therefore, check your desk or floor area before you buy. It takes ATX motherboards only, so Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX boards fit too but E-ATX does not. For GPUs, the horizontal length limit is 315mm and the vertical thickness limit is 105mm. For CPU coolers, the height limit is 160mm, so large tower air coolers that exceed 160mm will not fit. PSUs up to 170mm are supported.

Cooling and Radiator Configuration

Top radiator support runs from 120 to 240mm, so 240mm AIOs fit in most builds. However, check your radiator’s thickness and fan layout against the case’s top clearance, especially with tall RAM or VRM heatsinks on ATX boards. Front cooling comes pre-installed with two 160mm fans; the case also supports 2 x 140mm fans in the same position. Rear exhaust takes one 120mm fan. Also, the 5-port PWM fan hub lets you connect and control all system fans through a single PWM cable to the motherboard.

Storage, Cable Management, and Wood Care

The case holds up to two 2.5-inch drives and two 2.5-inch/3.5-inch combo drives, so you can mix SSDs and hard drives to fit your storage needs. Meanwhile, rear cable clips and a detachable PSU bracket simplify cable routing; the PSU slides in from the rear after you detach the bracket. The tool-free 3.5-inch HDD cage makes drive installs easy, and the removable dust filters on the front and bottom make cleaning quick. For the wood front, wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth only; avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners because they can dull the six-stage coating. Also, note that natural wood varies in texture, so each unit has a slightly distinct finish.

Plan your parts around the case’s clearance: GPUs up to 315mm horizontally, CPU air coolers up to 160mm, and PSUs up to 170mm. For liquid cooling, a 240mm AIO fits on the top, while front cooling uses the two pre-installed 160mm fans.

Detach the rear PSU bracket before you install the power supply. That way, you can slide the PSU in from the rear, connect the main 24-pin and CPU 8-pin cables, and then reattach the bracket. Also, use the rear cable clips to hold cable runs flat against the tray.

Because the case has a 5-port PWM fan hub, connect all case fans to the hub and route a single PWM cable to the motherboard. For airflow, keep the front intake fans on a positive-pressure curve so dust stays in the filters, and add top exhaust only if your CPU and GPU workloads need it.

Clean the front and bottom dust filters every few months so airflow stays steady. Also, check your motherboard’s front-panel USB-C header before you count on the 20Gbps Type-C port. Because the case weighs 8.61 kg empty, pick its final spot before you build, and use the tool-free HDD cage to add or swap drives later without pulling the whole build apart.
