Product details

The ASUS Prime AP201 is a stylish 33-litre microATX case with tool-less side panels and quasi-filter grille that supports 360mm coolers, graphics cards up to 338mm in length and standard ATX power supplies.
The ASUS Prime AP201 is a breakthrough in microATX chassis design, offering a high-performance platform that invites 360mm AIO coolers and graphics cards up to 338mm in length into a compact 33-litre space. Tool-less side panels with a quasi-filter mesh also provide easy access and enhanced airflow, completing a tasteful, minimalist aesthetic that can be the centrepiece of any DIY PC build. The AP201's mesh design consists of over 57,000 precision-machined 1.5mm holes that are structured to increase airflow, reduce dust ingress and collectively provide a compelling view of the components in your build. With support for 280mm and 360mm radiators and up to 6 fans, the AP201 is great equipped to handle the thermal onslaught of high performance hardware. The two 120mm fan mounts on the bottom of the AP201 include a dust filter that can be removed for easy cleaning or to further improve airflow. Despite its compact size, the AP201 supports standard ATX PSUs up to 180mm long, graphics cards up to 338mm long, custom liquid cooling setups and a variety of storage devices. Instead of making you wrestle with screws or potentially cumbersome hinges, the AP201's side panels both use a simple but secure clip mechanism to attach them to the case. This makes them easy to remove when you want to access the inside of the enclosure and resistant to accidental loosening. The AP201 features an extended motherboard compartment with strategically placed cut-outs and 32mm spacing, giving builders ample space to store cables out of sight and create a clean aesthetic for their DIY PC. In addition to two Type-A USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, the front panel of the AP201 also features a Type-C port designed for USB 3.2 Gen 2. Compatible microATX ASUS motherboards such as zTUF Gaming B660M PlusorROG STRIX B660-Gcan use this port to enjoy transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps. Available in either black or white, the AP201 gives you the option to create a rig that blends in or stands out.

ASUS has clearly surprised us with the Prime AP201. With a small change to the typical layout, they have developed a mini tower that, despite its quite compact dimensions, does not have to hide from its bigger brothers in terms of cooling performance and hardware compatibility, and is also suitable for hotter components...
