No, this isn’t a figment of imagination. The new Asus G1000 gaming PC boasts an extraordinary design featuring holographic ‘fans,’ a distinctive hood scoop for cooling, and an impressively thick side panel, making it one of the most substantial pre-built gaming PCs to date.
Design and Cooling Innovation
Asus has chosen a rather bold moment to unveil this extravagant gaming PC, particularly as the gaming industry faces challenges with soaring graphics card and memory prices. Nevertheless, for those seeking a premium upgrade this year, the G1000 is poised to be a standout contender in the gaming landscape.
Currently, the G1000 is offered exclusively in a high-end configuration, equipped with an Asus Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a generous 2TB of SSD storage. However, its true uniqueness lies in its innovative assembly.
The top of the unit features a hood scoop that serves as ventilation for a robust 420mm AIO liquid cooler designed to manage the CPU’s temperature. A strategically placed opening on the left side allows cool air to flow in, while hot air from the radiator is expelled directly out of the top, creating a dedicated cooling zone that alleviates the burden on the remaining fans, which only need to manage the graphics card, motherboard, RAM, and SSD.
Additional cooling is facilitated by a 140mm fan located at the base of the case, which channels cool air directly to the graphics card’s pass-through cooler. Complementing this setup are front-mounted fans and an exhaust fan positioned at the rear, ensuring optimal airflow throughout the system.
The front fans benefit from a full-length gap that runs between the case’s front panel and the internal components, allowing for efficient ventilation. This design introduces the eye-catching holographic ‘fans’—a playful twist on traditional cooling methods. These ‘fans’ do not circulate air; instead, they consist of spinning light strips that create a mesmerizing holographic lighting effect.
Each ‘fan’ is embedded with 680 LEDs, capable of displaying images at half that resolution. The design includes two smaller holographic displays at the front and a larger one that spans the entire side panel, contributing to the overall thickness of the unit. This side panel display houses the lights and the motor responsible for their rotation, all encased within a hinged glass panel.
While this maximalist aesthetic may not appeal to everyone, it undeniably makes a statement. It’s important to note that the current iteration is still a prototype, with Asus refining details such as the PSU area coverage. As of now, there is no confirmed release date or pricing, but anticipation is building around the potential market debut of this remarkable machine.
