The AP304 brings an innovative design that cools the components faster while delivering breathtaking views. ASUS Launches Prime AP304 Mid-Tower Chassis With Dedicated Graphics Card Slot Clamp for Tool-Free GPU Installation There is a lot to talk about the new ASUS Prime AP304 mid-tower chassis. First of all, it looks similar to the Cougar CFV235 PC case, which I reviewed last year. Both cases bring a floating design for the upper chamber, allowing cool air from the bottom through the space. This is generally useful for the graphics card, which doesn't get access to cool air directly. ASUS says that […]

Asus has introduced the Prime AP304 Series ATX cases, offering both standard and ARGB configurations. Interestingly, Asus has also implemented a new patented feature, a new slot vent design to isolate chambers for better airflow. 

The new Asus Prime AP304 cases (via Vortez) feature a curved tempered-glass panel that extends from the front of the chassis around to the side. To make system assembly and hardware maintenance easier, Asus has integrated an easy-to-detach rail system for safer panel removal, along with a tool-free graphics card slot clamp. The layout is spacious enough to accommodate graphics cards up to 420mm long.

For thermal management, the series relies on a patented slot vent design. This layout isolates the upper and lower chambers of the chassis, channelling fresh air directly to the graphics card. According to Asus, this chamber separation optimises overall cooling efficiency by reducing warm air accumulation in the lower section of the case, making the system's airflow less reliant on bottom-mounted intake fans.

The Prime AP304 ARGB variant comes pre-configured with four ARGB fans and an integrated lighting strip wired for Asus Aura Sync compatibility. The standard model retains the integrated light band but leaves the fan choice open to the builder.

KitGuru says: It is a nice-looking case but the question is, how much will it cost?
