Featuring an open-grille front panel with wide venting slots and two thick 200 mm ProArt front fans, this chassis ensures superior airflow with minimal noise. Dual air deflectors guide cooling air precisely, optimizing temperatures for critical components like the CPU, graphics card, and power circuitry. The ample interior space accommodates large components, including motherboards up to 12 inches long and 10.9 inches wide, and supports tower coolers up to 190 mm tall or liquid cooling with top radiator support up to 420 mm. Storage options abound, offering space for up to eight 2.5-inch SSDs or four 3.5-inch HDDs.
This chassis simplifies connectivity with a unified front I/O header and tool-free maintenance via side panels that unlock with a single key. Everyday usability is enhanced by the abundant front USB ports, including a rapid 20 Gbps USB-C port, and a physical latch for the power button to prevent accidental activation. Detachable dust filters on multiple panels and an intelligent LED indicator in the front ensure an optimal and dust-free environment. With a sleek, minimalist design, tempered glass side panel, and compatibility with other ProArt components, the chassis offers a sophisticated aesthetic that complements any workspace.
In addition to the existing ProArt motherboard, VGA, and display lineups, this year marks a significant expansion with the introduction of the ProArt chassis and ProArt AIO cooler. This comprehensive expansion now completes the ProArt ecosystem, providing users with a holistic range of components and peripherals that integrate seamlessly to offer a unified, optimized user experience.
