If you’ve ever wished your PC case could double as a piece of fine furniture, ASUS has heard your call. The new ProArt PA602 Wood Edition is more than a chassis—it’s practically interior design.
Wrapped in luxurious FSC-certified ash wood and built to hold up to 30 kg (66 lbs), it’s the case that will make your office look as refined as a mahogany library. Finally, a PC that says, “I could be holding a high-performance GPU, or I could be a family heirloom.”
Beyond just good looks, this case packs serious cooling power. Its open-grille wooden front and two pre-installed 200 mm fans move air like it’s going out of style, delivering a windstorm-level 190.2 CFM to keep even the most fiery processors chilled. The rear 140 mm fan joins in for backup, and there are airflow deflectors because, yes, this case is serious about staying cool under pressure.
Inside, it’s a paradise for anyone who needs elbow room for those monster-sized EATX motherboards, and with slots for up to eight SSDs, there’s space for all your creative projects, high-res assets, and just-in-case “emergency” files. Tool-free assembly, a quick-release button for the side panels, and a magical clamp for your graphics card make setup easier than ordering coffee.
ASUS hasn’t skimped on modern convenience, either. The USB-C 20 Gbps port on the front I/O will zip through data transfers while the PA602’s automatic dust-detecting filter gets you an alert for when it’s time for a spring cleaning. ASUS ProArt PA602 Wood Edition—finally, a case as refined as you pretend to be.
There are two variants of the ProArt PA602 Wood Edition. There is the Metal Panel and the ever-so-cool Tempered Glass Panel. Anyhoo, personally, I think the concept is cool but not nearly as super cool. Why? The dark wood, at a glance, looks like any other metal case. If it is in oak or birch, or just any lighter shade, I would have a different opinion. And if it is wood and “breathes” like this is a custom PC case, then that would be considered a real work of art. Just saying…
