Yeah... sorry to say, but having the tubes of watercooling on top of this ruins the illusion for me personally. Cool though to see it put together for a first!

Man, that's one "i want to experience what it's like to be 13 years old" ugly case.

Let`s hide the cables so people can see our RGB in all it`s glory!...

if they didn't have to flog their own aio and case this could've been dope. this look screams for a hard line loop and a simple, but elegant case along the lines of the Lian Li 011D or Phanteks Eclipse

Even with aircooler this will work really well. No cables mean better airflow. Hope this will become norm. I always try to hide cables as much as possible, but you cant hide GPU power cables - until now. Good job ASUS!

There is hardly any airflow blockage from cables these days.

And larger case as everything is on the back. 😕 What make me think it might end like the BTX (a good idea, but...), is that only Asus and MSI follow the everything on back... but with different standard (Why?!?!), for those who haven't noticed the "Project zero" and "BTF" are similar but with difference, PSU location are similar but some other plug are not... Mean if your case boesn't suport both you might be stuck with Asus or MSI... or change your case if you change of brand, or get back to classic. 😡 Anyway, a clean cable management on my 90" case is still do the job for now (i hate rvb lol), let see how this will evolve.

I stopped caring about cables the moment i got my hands at my first modular PSU, this way i just have to use 3 or 4 cables and that doesn`t bother me at all.

not only is ugly and gaudy it got side windows love the idea of cases and mb with connections on back side board. if this thing actual becomes standard and they make more case like this (not ugly or guady or sidewindow) i would get one. right now the Antec P10c and P101 silent are front runner for my next case seeing FD define case are to much for my taste now

Same for me, heavy volume on my own server and everything else on my M2 SSD, a CPU cable, a PSU cable and a GPU one and that's all... But i still have put the cable away from airflow and make them the most clean possible 🙂 Old but still kicking Superflower PSU inside.

Hides the cables except the eyesore AIO's tubes which are a worse offender than a lot of things.
