ASUS' Latest ProArt Chassis Features a Unique Classy Design

— December 12, 2024 — Tech
The ProArt PA401 Wood Edition from ASUS is a distinctive mid-tower chassis that combines aesthetics with functionality. It features a front panel made from FSC-certified ash wood, which undergoes a six-stage production process to ensure durability and a unique, elegant finish. The wood is treated with thermowood technology to protect against insects, humidity, and heat, and is finished with a two-step coating that highlights the natural grain. This sustainable design choice not only adds a touch of sophistication but also promotes environmental responsibility.

In terms of performance, the ProArt PA401 Wood Edition is equipped with optimal cooling capabilities. It includes two 160mm front fans and one 120mm rear fan, all with PWM control for efficient airflow and reduced noise. The case supports various cooling configurations, including top-mounted radiators, and offers ample space for high-performance components. With its combination of sustainable materials and advanced cooling features, the ProArt PA401 Wood Edition is designed to meet the needs of both environmentally conscious and performance-oriented users.
