The ASUS A31 and A31 PLUS PC cases deliver a panoramic view for a great price

Today’s DIY desktop computer has to deliver more than screaming speed and ultrasmooth graphics. More and more gamers are treating their PCs as a display room for their hardware. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly showroom for your next DIY PC build complete with a customized RGB lightshow and a tidy interior, meet the ASUS A31 and ASUS A31 PLUS computer cases. These mid-tower gaming cases offer a seamless, panoramic view of your build along with the broad component compatibility you need to customize everything exactly the way you want it. Available in black or white, both cases give you a wide-open view of your hardware, exceptional cooling, and streamlined style in one affordable package.

Clean style with a beautiful view

The ASUS A31 and A31 Plus remove all the obstructions blocking your internal PC components. The A31 was designed with a panoramic side panel, which removes the pillar separating the front tempered glass panel from the side panel in other cases. Admirers can walk from the front of your case around the side without losing sight of the main chamber where your hardware is housed, so your build shines from every angle.

To make the view even better, both the ASUS A31 and A31 PLUS have angled the top of their base compartment upward 8°. This added incline puts your build on a platform, providing the best-yet showcase for your hardware and personalized ARGB lighting effects. And each version of the ASUS A31 comes in black or white variants with color-coordinated black or white internal I/O cables that will complement whatever build theme you choose, whether it’s clean, snowy white or classic underground black.

The ASUS A31 is built for premium cooling

Whichever style you go with, the ASUS A31 cases are designed top-to-bottom to keep your PC hardware cool. The top of the main chamber provides a generous 80mm of clearance. With that much headroom, you’ll have space for the beefier radiators and fans you need whenever you dial your GPU and CPU into a beastly overclock.

The side panel affords room for up to three 120mm fans to provide a steady air intake. To make sure that your PC cables don’t play spoiler for your airflow plans, consider equipping your PC with a BTF motherboard that hides the cables behind the motherboard tray. To boost your PC’s fresh air intake even further, you can install three more atop the bottom compartment. For the best cooling performance and aesthetics, we recommend reverse airflow fans here. The 8° angled base won’t just put these fans at a better angle for viewing — it’ll also point their airflow more directly at the fans of your graphics card.

If you prefer to select and install your own case fans, pick the ASUS A31. For a head start on your cooling regimen, grab the ASUS A31 PLUS, which comes with four pre-installed ARGB fans.

Wide-open compatibility for all your components

Both the ASUS A31 and A31 PLUS PC cases are designed inside and out to make the building experience easier. These mid-tower cases support a wide range of PSUs and house ATX motherboards, so you’ll have your pick from almost any motherboard on the market, monster EATX options excepted. In addition to its compatibility with large liquid cooling radiators, the A31 has room for a CPU cooler up to 165mm in height, giving you freedom to pick a tall tower cooler without worrying about it pushing up against the side panel.

These cases also provide plenty of build space lengthwise. The ASUS A31 supports graphics cards up to 380mm in length. With that much available space, you won’t have to worry about the size of your graphics card’s heatsink. Even if you opt for the large-and-in-charge ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090, you’ll have a few centimeters to spare.

Simplify cable management for an ultra-clean build

If you’re a minimalist who prefers your PC builds streamlined and efficient, the ASUS A31 was built especially for you. A tangle of cables can not only be unsightly, but an obstruction to airflow, too. Some builders enjoy the process of cleaning up their PCS with the help of cable combs, zip ties, and custom replacement cable kits, but others would prefer an approach that keeps their PCs ultra-clean right from the start. For them, we offer hidden-connector motherboards.

Hidden-connector motherboards in our ASUS BTF lineup simplify cable management by moving all the cable connectors to the back of the motherboard. With the connectors entirely hidden from view, problems with cables disappear. Simply plug your components into the motherboard connectors facing the rear second chamber of the case, then close up the chamber to confine the clutter. If you’re ready for the upgrade to hidden-connector life, check out our BTF motherboard family, like the just-launched TUF Gaming B850-BTF WiFi W.

Both options are available in black or white today, so don’t wait to get started on your next PC build.
