hardware canucks CES coverage is made possible by our partner Nvidia it is also made possible thanks to Corsair fantex and NCIX the asus GT 51 gaming desktop really caught our eyes at CES because while it is very gaming centric in the physical character it is also a great shift away from the type of case designs gamers are starting to build with now and so I'd like to ask our audience on what you think of this type of case design with a comment below first the front panel has a lot going for it this glowing portal at the bottom is obviously an air intake that features multicolored lighting with breathing red strips above it with the ROG logo if they were trying to achieve this type of robotic and armor chassis feel to it they have done a fantastic job let me tell you and it kind of grows on you almost makes me want to build inside one of these cases it is angled with very busy side panel I mean they have perforated ventilation which is not dust proof unfortunately we have an angular window with honeycomb design mesh underneath it and this extra layer of aerodynamic side panel and it almost makes you feel like it's way too much but at the same time totally suiting the aesthetics of what they're trying to achieve on the inside they have a sky like CPU dual type Nexus nice clean cable management and a non black interior surface which was a bummer this is 2016 after all come on the GPUs are supported with custom brackets to prevent sag with a simple ROG branded all-in-one and this breathing interior lighting now the one particular feature I found truly unique is this NFC armband that may introduce new security in overclocking features to how we interact with our computer cases it's quite low-profile it is of course RGB branded and when touched the front of the case it unlocks a certain shadow partition which is inside your case where you stash away you private stuff and files and documents or hold it there for five seconds to overclock your machine to a specific profile which sounds really awesome with potential to add so many extra functions to the brand for these ROG specific commands now what I'm interested to see if Asus will sell the enclosure separately because despite this design that is totally not my style I am weirdly drawn towards it for you know some maybe fun experimentation so let us know if you share a similar interest as me or do you find it totally unappealing I'm Dimitri with harbor Canucks thanks much watching and we'll see you in the next video
