Video Description

#asus #pcbuild #asuspcdiy - Modern hardware meets futuristic styling? That's certainly the impression the PRIME AP202 provides! Let's talk about this unique Micro ATX Case: Timecodes, though I don't recommend skipping for visual narrative reasons! (Quality headphones or speakers recommended throughout) 00:00 - Coin Toss Decisions... 01:03 - PRIME AP202 Overview 02:04 - Motherboard Assembly 03:32 - PRIME AP202 Assembly 05:48 - Cable Master Levelled Up 07:22 - Build Resumes... 08:23 - Noise Levels 08:45 - Airflow Visualization 09:14 - Black AP202 Cinematic & Desk Setup 10:44 - White AP202 Cinematic 11:46 - Coffee, MML Comics + Outtakes The ASUS PRIME AP202 shares very little in common with the PRIME AP201 we've grown so familiar with over the last few years. Instead, the AP202 takes a completely new approach, especially where airflow is concerned. ASUS have patented the 'slot' intake along the bottom partition of the case. Initally, I assumed this wouldn't be very effective due to certain relative restrictions in the size and spacing but during testing I was wrong. The slot provides ample airflow for a Micro ATX build whilst also keeping volume levels quiet. I'd love to see ASUS include two reverse fans for the side instead, I can't help but feel that temperatures would be even better with the side as exhaust for more high performance systems.

The ASUS Prime AP202 is unique in its own rights. The curved glass isn't something new to the PC DIY space at this point, but the overall styling combined with the slotted bottom intake creates some unique visuals with great performance. It's worth noting that the black version of the case comes with very tinted glass, so be mindful of that when purchasing! Could you see yourself with the new ASUS PRIME AP202?
