Introduction

I would like to thank ASUS for supplying the review sample.


Asus is not well known for their cases, but the brand does have a presence on the market. There are several TUF inspired variants as well as some ROG themed enclosures for example. However, none of them really breached the general mainstream market. This changes with the ASUS Prime AP201 chassis, which prioritizes air flow and a good balance of space vs. size, focusing on hardware compatibility without compromise. The AP201 is available in both black and white, we've received the black variant for review.

Specifications

Packaging

ASUS ships the AP201 in a plain cardboard box, but tries to catch your attention with white print instead of the usual black. The front has an image of the chassis with a few unique design details, while the rear offers a bit more text to sell you the chassis. One side panel comes with the usual specification table, while the other hold a sticker to let you know what color variant you will be receiving.


Two thick and sturdy foam spacers hold the AP201 in place and protect it during shipping, while a plastic bag keeps fingerprints and scratches away.
