#Noctua #proart #asuspcdiy - Wait, the PA602 is evolving?! It would appear so! It's time to embrace it's smaller self - the PA401 Wood Edition! Timecodes, though I don't recommend skipping for visual narrative reasons! 00:00 - Imagine This... 00:39 - Honey I Shrunk The PA602 01:12 - PA401 Wood Edition Overview 02:31 - Build Hardware 02:56 - Kingston Gen 5 Arrives 03:15 - Motherboard Assembly 05:07 - PA401 Assembly 06:39 - The Cable Master Returns 07:11 - Build Continues 07:52 - Noise Levels 08:21 - Airflow Visualization 08:45 - Cinematic & Desk Setup 11:01 - Coffee Thanks & Bloopers It goes without saying that the ProArt PA602 has been a very popular case for both gamers and creators alike. If there's one thing we've been craving, however, it's a smaller version for those who have less space or less demand... Enter the PA401. Elegant and stylish, those are my two keywords here. The PA401 Wood Edition offers some very warm angles and the subdued wood grain is tasteful whilst not overpowering. ASUS opted to use Ash wood for the front panel which was an interesting but welcomed choice, in a space where others have gravitated more towards Walnut and Pine. Whilst GPU lengths are going to be a big contributing factor with your decision to purchase the PA401, assuming you stay within those limitations this chassis has some incredible cooling potential whilst also being quite minimalistic.

Wood panels on PC cases are becoming more and more normal into 2025, that's something I never thought I'd say a few years ago! ASUS have done a very good job of implementing the wood accents into the PA401, bridging the gap for creators and gamers alike to embrace a stylish and more 'mature' focussed setup.
