## Description

The ASUS Prime AP201 is a breakthrough in microATX chassis design, delivering a high-performance platform that invites 360 mm AIO coolers and graphics cards up to 338 mm long, all within a compact 33-liter space. Tool-free side panels with a quasi-filter mesh also provide easy access and enhanced airflow, and they complete a tasteful, minimalist aesthetic that can be the centerpiece of any DIY PC build.

Review: Perfect for Building a PC in a Tight Space - I used this for my Micro ATX build and it may be the best product I've purchased all year. First of all, all the panels are removable - they all come off for easy access when building. They stay put when you need them to, but are fairly easy to take off by sliding and pulling. Second, I have to mention the cable management. This case provides incredible cable management options. There are holes, channels, and attachment points everywhere. It's really impressive how much they managed to fit in here, both in terms of structure and in terms of negative space. The air flow - wow. This entire case is like a giant mesh, but it's also extremely sturdy. It's a work of engineering genius. It puts every other case to shame. As my title mentions, the size is perfect if you're like me and had to build for a shelf with limited height. I actually struggled for days to find a case that would meet my height and width requirements, but this one was perfect. It does make up for it with a lot of depth, so if you have a shelf that doesn't have a ton of depth, you may have to turn the case sideways or choose something else. As compact as this case is though, there is plenty of room inside for whatever you need. It's a bit like that bag from Harry Potter, or the suitcase from Halloweentown. The power button is easy to find and press without looking. The audio jacks and front USB ports are also conveniently located on the front in a time when many cases are putting them on top (again, this was imperative for me with limited shelf height). Overall, this case was absolutely perfect in every way for me. I really can't believe how fortunate I was to find it.
Review: Excellent Micro ATX case - I love this little case. Originally bought it for a secondary PC, but it became my main PC case when I upgraded and wanted something smaller. There's plenty of room for just about anything you would want to put inside. The description says it will take a 338mm length GPU, but the first on I used was an XFX Merc 319, which is slightly longer than that (340mm.) It fit with no problem while at the same time using a full ATX power supply and an air cooler, with 2 exhaust fans at the top. That's because the case allows you to adjust the placement of the PSU to either accommodate a larger GPU (move the power supply up) or a 360 mm radiator on the top (move power supply down.) Fitting both would be tricky with a full ATX power supply, but you could do it with an SFX. Just make sure you are using a modular PSU if you're going to go with a max length GPU. That's really a good idea anyway since with a case this size there isn't much space to hide a lot of extra cables. Building in this case is easy. Every panel comes off which makes it a breeze. About the only thing that could still be tricky is getting the CPU power in place if you're using an AIO and you install it and the motherboard before routing that cable. To be fair, it's the same way with most cases, so if you're used to PC building you know to run that cable first just in case. I went with the mesh version for airflow, and temperatures haven't been an issue at all, for CPU or GPU. My current setup has a much shorter GPU than before so I have a 360mm radiator installed at the top with the ATX PSU moved down enough to easily fit it. I have 2 fans pulling air in from the bottom. Depending on how thick your GPU is you may not need any fans at the bottom. I was concerned about not mounting any front fans for intake, but it has not been a problem. There is enough room to mount one fan in the front if you are using an SFX power supply and can move it down to the lowest position. Right now I have 4 fans pulling air out (3 on the AIO, one in the rear) and 2 at the bottom pulling air in. It may be better for dust purposes to move that rear exhaust fan to be a bottom intake, making the airflow more or less even, but as I said, I have not had any temperature issues so I'm not worried about it. Keep in mind, only the bottom has a dust filter, so if you have negative airflow like this you'll have to do a little more maintenance for the dust pulled in from the side. Or I guess you could buy some magnetic mesh for the side panel. One possible downside for some--there is no reset button. In the center of the front panel is the power button (which has a white LED when on), with two USB 3.0 ports to the right and USB-C, headphone and microphone on the left. If your PC hard freezes and you need to reset, you'll just have to long-press the power button, wait for it to turn off, then turn it back on. Finally, a word about looks. This is a simple case. It isn't flashy. Even if you use RGB components it isn't going to be very flashy if you go for the mesh version (although you CAN see the lighting through the mesh and it's kind of a cool effect.) It's meant to be minimalist and that's just what it is. As I write this, the white version (which is the one I went with) is $20 more than the black version (which was not the case when I bought mine.) With that price difference, I'd definitely go black for better value unless you really need the white to match something else.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality windowless case, all panels remove so could easily be customized
*by B***N on October 28, 2025*

Gonna be bigger than you are expecting but still a 10/10 case in my opinion. Well built sturdy panels, extremely easy to build in and hide wires (if you want, it’s closed so who cares). Fit my 160mm psu, 360 aio, 340 mm 5070ti, and squeezed in two case fans in taking under the gpu. My temps at idle are low thirties, running bf6 maxed out 2k I haven’t went over 75 yet, but I know there are harder games out there, but this case does not lack airflow in any way.
