You need a chassis that can fit your high-performance PC components, keep them cool under load, and look stylish while housing said parts. That’s why we’re introducing the ProArt PA401 Wood Edition, a more-compact ATX variant of our ProArt PA602 Wood Edition. If you want a thermally optimized case with visual luster and all the home and lifestyle-focused essentials you could ask for in a snug form factor, the PA401 delivers.
A chassis with subtlety and sophistication
The ProArt PA401 Wood Edition utilizes wood in its front panel for a truly distinct look. This durable ash wood is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council for sustainability, meaning you can rest easy knowing your case’s unique aesthetic flourish was sourced and made with environmental considerations at the forefront.
The wood for this panel goes through a six-stage process, including a thermowood treatment where we shape and refine each piece of wood to perfection, then follow up with a two-step coating process that highlights the natural appearance of the wood grain while also applying a low-sheen finish. This produces a front panel that’s durable, artistically inspired, professional, and minimalist, perfect for that lifestyle aesthetic where you want taste without distraction.
Furthermore, we offer two choices for the PA401’s side panel so that you can best tailor the chassis to your sensibilities. You can opt for a metal side panel to maximize case durability and score a sleek black finish or go with a tempered glass panel that will show off your desktop’s internal components.
Cool casing and convenient controls for the hottest workloads
Everyday users need a low-noise, airflow-optimized chassis so they can focus on their work and not be distracted by their PC. This is where the PA401 excels.
The case’s cooling power starts with its open-grille front panel, which provides unimpeded air intake for the dual 160 x 32mm intake fans. Those unique ring fans’ blades deliver up to 138CFM of airflow. Larger volumes of air keep your components cool without excess noise, ensuring your machine remains at healthy temperatures regardless of how demanding your workflow gets. The preinstalled 120mm rear fan exhausts heat for an effective cooling loop.
To give you maximum control, the case’s front panel features an integrated PWM control so you can switch your desktop’s fan mode with a single input. This utility is perfect for when you’re alternating between low-stress tasks like web browsing and high-intensity workflows that utilize demanding programs, requiring maximum PC cooling power.
Builder-friendly features make assembly easy
The ProArt PA401 Wood Edition is an ATX mid-tower case that provides a multitude of features to make building your dream machine a breeze. With the PA401, part installations, cable management, and other functions are simpler than ever.
Getting inside your PC is a cinch with the PA401’s tool-free design. Side panels release with a simple button press, giving you instant access to your desktop’s internal components. To balance ease of access with hardware security, a left-side panel lock ensures that when you don’t want your case opening up, it’ll remain shut, no matter who tries to open it.
The chassis’ rear bracket detaches from the case so you can easily install a power supply by simply sliding it into place, no futzing required. The tool-free 3.5-inch HDD installation similarly simplifies the assembly process, allowing you to insert a new drive with just your hands when you want to upgrade your desktop’s storage capacity.
The case’s rear cable clips provide the means to tidily organize your cables, keeping your PC’s wiring orderly, safe, and aesthetically satisfying. And the PA401 even offers two ways to orient a graphics card, so whether it’s more convenient for you to put your card vertically or horizontally, you can make the process easy on yourself.
Quality-of-life features aplenty
The ProArt PA401 Wood Edition chassis does more than simplify the building process; it adds extras that can genuinely improve your day-to-day PC usage.
To accommodate your peripherals, we stocked the front panel with USB ports, including a lightning-fast USB 20Gbps Type-C port — couple the PA401 with a compatible motherboard to take advantage of it. Two additional USB 3.0 Type-A ports provide more ways to connect devices and gadgets.
If you’re worried about mistakenly tapping, say, the nearby power button while using those front ports, we included a physical lock latch to prevent mishaps. Flip the lock on, and it’ll ensure the power and reset buttons can’t be pressed down.
And to keep your components gunk-free, we added removeable dust filters to the front and bottom of the case. No matter how much air flows in and out of your PC, dust won’t be joining the party.
The ATX solution for everyday users
The ProArt PA401 Wood Edition is an aesthetic charmer that’s perfect for lifestyle users in need of a distinct, tasteful PC case featuring strong thermal performance on top of some useful bells and whistles. Between the PA401’s side panel options, impressive cooling capabilities, and its multitude of PC-building conveniences, it’s the go-to case option if you’re looking to dabble in the desktop space for the very first time. Whether you put this compact case in a studio or your home office, it’ll blend in with its environment and leave you ample space for all your other hardware and accessories.
If you want a case with even more connectivity options and extra internal space for large PC components, be sure to check out the ProArt PA602 Wood Edition, which retains the striking aesthetics and handy features of the PA401 while fitting a few more utilities thanks to its bigger size.
