ASUS ROG Announces the Huracan (G21)

ASUS ROG Announces the Huracan (G21)

ASUS ROG announces the Huracan (G21), a compact gaming desktop powered by up to an 8th Generation Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics for gaming. The Huracan has a unique magnetically-secured side cover that sets it apart from other gaming desktops. 

Open up for More Performance 
Opening the patented magnetically-secured side cover increases airflow into the system for better cooling. The sensors also activate the integrated Aura lighting effects. To ensure the very best gaming performance, the Huracan is powered by up to the latest 8th Generation Intel Core i7 processor with up to 32GB of DDR4 2666MHz memory, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics. The Huracan is configurable up to a 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD and a 2TB HDD; and up to a 2TB HDD with Intel Optane Memory technology is also available. Intel Optane enables SSD-like performance from a large HDD, accelerating overall system performance and improving responsiveness for a blazing-fast computing experience.

Easy-Upgrade Design 
The compact 13-liter chassis of the Huracan incorporates elements inspired by cyber-warrior and cyberpunk themes, resulting in an aggressive, angular design with sharp creases to symbolize a warrior's battle scars. Sliding side panels make it easy to maintain and upgrade key components, allowing gamers to upgrade to faster and larger capacity storage drives, graphics card, and memory to keep the Huracan up to date. In addition, the Huracan has a hot-swap 2.5-inch SSD bay that allows the user to take out and replace the drive in seconds.


Synchronized Aura Sync Lighting 
Customizable Aura lighting effects let gamers match the look and feel of the Huracan to the game currently being played, while Aura Sync technology lets them sync light effects with Aura Sync supported gaming mice, headsets, keyboards, monitors, and other peripherals to create a gaming setup with a consistent look and feel. Aura Sync provides up to nine preset lighting modes to choose from.

Incredibly Immersive Sound 
A built-in ESS Sabre DAC and amplifier provides incredible 32-bit /384kHz audio and a sample rate that's 8X greater than CD quality, for richer and more detailed audio experiences. It provides low frequency sounds at louder volumes, and more detail on the higher end of the audio spectrum. It also offers a greater dynamic range (DNR) for richer and less distorted audio, as well as a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to get rid of annoying noise.
 
The ROG Huracan (G21) will be available in late Q2

Hmm. 'Huracan' is a trademarked name by the car manufacturer Lamborghini. I wouldn't mind betting it'll be called something else before long once the Lambo lawyers have had their say!

It's also the name of Mayan god of storm and wind, where the term hurricane comes from:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huracan

Not exactly something that can be trademarked.
However "Lamborghini Huracán" written exactly like this IS trademarked, but that's not a problem since ASUS is not going to name their case "Lamborghini" ...

ASUS has released Lambo themed/inspired products before, so one can assume a licensing/agreement is in effect.

Well, in the spirit of things, ASUS could also release a "Asus ROG Huracan G21 Performante" with 8700K/1080Ti! :D
