Case ASUS ProArt PA401 Wood Edition - Tempered Glass

ASUS ProArt PA401 Wood Edition is a Full Tower case aimed at more serious desktop configurations, where you simultaneously seek space, good ventilation, and a cleaner, designer look. The black chassis with wooden accents and transparent tempered glass side panel is a logical choice if you want to showcase your hardware without it looking like an RGB disco. The ATX format gives you freedom for standard motherboards and more serious components, while the 7 expansion slots cover most scenarios with one or two longer GPUs. Despite the cleaner style, you have modern I/O on top with USB-C and fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports for peripherals and external devices.

What you get is a combination of spacious Full Tower format and meaningful cooling support. On top, you can mount up to two 120 mm or two 140 mm fans, plus one 120 mm at the back, creating a straight airflow through the case. The support for water cooling in the top panel (120/240 mm) allows you to install a compact AIO for the CPU without fighting for space with other components. The maximum height for air coolers up to 160 mm is more than enough for most mid-range tower coolers. A power supply unit up to 170 mm gives you space for standard ATX PSUs without worrying that it will hit the drive cages or cables.

• Case form factor Full Tower, which means more space for components, better airflow, and easier cable management compared to smaller formats.
• Support for motherboards with ATX format, aimed at typical gaming and creative configurations with sufficient PCIe slots.
• 7 expansion slots, allowing hassle-free installation of one or two larger GPUs plus additional cards (sound, capture, network).
• Maximum height for CPU cooler 160 mm, suitable for a large part of the more serious air CPU coolers on the market.
• Supported power supply unit up to 170 mm, which covers most standard ATX PSUs without overly restricting cabling.
• Air cooling options: top panel with 2 x 120 mm or 2 x 140 mm fans and rear panel with 1 x 120 mm, for direct front-to-back airflow.
• Support for water cooling in top panel 120/240 mm, suitable for AIO solutions for quieter and more stable CPU operation under load.
• Modern I/O: 1 x USB-C, 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 and 1 x HD Audio, so you can connect fast external drives and headphones directly at the front.
• Storage slots: 2 x 2.5'' plus 2 x 2.5"/3.5", providing flexibility to combine SSD for the system and larger HDD for capacity.
• Comes without a power supply unit, so you can choose a PSU according to your configuration needs and GPU/CPU consumption.

This case is suitable if you want a more serious ATX build – gaming, creative work (rendering, video, photo) or a stable workstation, where you care about both aesthetics and functionality. If you are looking for an ultra-compact or super cheap case for a basic office computer, here the size and capabilities will likely be excessive.

The combination of Full Tower format, meaningful support for air and water cooling, plus modern I/O ports makes ASUS ProArt PA401 Wood Edition a good foundation for a serious yet stylish configuration. If you want a case that looks good next to your desk but doesn't limit you during upgrades, this model covers exactly that.
