Beige and brown are back – witness the new ProArt PA401 and PA602 Wood Edition PC case styles

PCs don’t hide in back rooms anymore. These days, they’re on full display in our home offices. And many of us need desktops that vibe well in studio apartments or other small spaces — where we work, have friends over, and relax. As such, the contemporary desktop must look professional, blend in, and make a name for itself all at the same time. That’s why we have the ProArt PA401 Wood Edition and ProArt PA602 Wood Edition chassis.

These desktop PC cases infuse natural elements with carefully crafted hardware to produce something simultaneously earthen and impossibly clean. Our latest colorways for the PA401 and PA602 take our pursuit of organic perfection even further, bringing retro colors and rustic tones to the forefront.

Retro Brown and Modern Black come to the ProArt PA602, giving you two subdued hues to choose from. The ProArt PA401, meanwhile, goes bold with a new Beige colorway that provides a modern aesthetic ideal for any lifestyle user’s setup. No matter your preference, we have a timeless shade that’s ready for you.

What these wood-paneled wonders have in common

 The ProArt PA401 Wood Edition and ProArt PA602 Wood Edition, despite being different sizes, share a central lure: their gorgeous, durable wooden front panels. This wood is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council for sustainability, so you can respect the environment and your PC’s style profile at the same time. You’ll get the beauty of real wood and the perfect symmetry of an ASUS-engineered front panel all in one.

The wooden elements receive a thermowood treatment for precision shaping, followed by a two-step coating that produces a low-sheen finish. This nets you a durable, slick front panel — a lifestyle design with the strength to hold up in any environment. And thanks to the aforementioned thermowood treatment, your panel is protected from insects, humidity, and heat.

We offer multiple colorways across the PA401 Wood Edition and PA602 Wood Edition. Go Beige or standard Black with the PA401 and its ash wood front panel. The Beige colorway in particular is a compelling option for those who want to draw attention to their desktop’s premium wood elements and transform their PC into a piece of home decor.

You have choices when you go big, too. The PA602 sports a standard Black ash wood option as well as new Retro Brown and Modern Black options, which use walnut wood. With all these choices, you’re sure to find a colorway that fits your setup.

Thermal efficiency that lets your PC breathe easy

The cases’ wooden front panel elements go beyond aesthetics. Their open-grille arrangement ensures your case gets unimpeded airflow, keeping internal components healthy.

The PA401 and PA602 both pack three preinstalled, extra-thick PWM fans for high airflow and pleasant acoustics. The PA401 sports two front 160mm fans and a rear 120mm fan while the PA602 includes two front 200mm fans and one rear 140mm fan. In conjunction with smartly organized interiors, these chassis keep CPU and GPU temperatures cooler than competitors’ open-grille case designs. We also give the cases removable dust filters to help you keep your machine squeaky clean on the inside.

The PA401 and PA602 feature front panels with integrated PWM control, letting you switch your PC’s fan mode with ease. Alternate between max cooling power and letting your PC manage fan speeds with the tap of a button.

To take cooling even further, the PA602 has dual air deflectors, funneling fresh air toward the graphics card and CPU cooler. The big case is designed to house truly demanding parts, so keeping those components frosty helps your whole machine thrive.

PC building, simplified and streamlined

Both the PA401 and PA602 strive to make PC building as easy as possible. The cases’ side panels release with a single key press, offering instant access to internals. Both give you ample cable management space, too, with 34mm of space for the PA401 and 30mm for the PA602. This ensures wires can be easily and effectively tidied up and hidden from view. And the cases allow for vertical or horizontal graphics card installation, letting you optimize your layout the way you prefer. Looking to add more fans to these cases? Both the PA401 and PA602 make it easy with a pre-installed PWM fan hub.

The PA401 chassis sports a detachable rear bracket for effortless PSU installation. Tool-free 3.5-inch HDD installation similarly simplifies the building process. Integrated rear cable clips help you keep wires tidy and out of sight, while a locking latch for the left panel makes sure it doesn’t pop open at an inopportune moment.

The PA602 packs its own perks that simplify the build process. Integrated carrying handles on the top panel and built-in wheels let you move the case around securely. Its unified header for front panel functions streamlines a vital step in your build process, and you’ll enjoy screwdriver-free PCIe add-in card installation, too. For convenience, a WiFi antenna storage compartment neatly hidden in the top panel gives you a spot to tuck away your motherboard’s antenna whenever you don’t need its services.

Robust connectivity

Both the PA401 and PA602 give you the front panel connectivity you need for maximum convenience. The PA401 features two USB 3.0 Type-A ports and a USB 20Gbps Type-C port while the PA602 packs all of that plus an additional two USB 2.0 ports thanks to its larger size.

Next to these ports, both chassis’ panels include a physical lock latch. This latch stops you from accidentally tapping your PC’s power and reset buttons, ensuring they won’t depress unless you want them to.

The ProArt PA401 Wood Edition gives you a wealth of choices

The ProArt PA401 Wood Edition, built for ATX motherboards and smaller, is perfect for a wide variety of scenarios and environments. Thanks to its standard size, it’ll fit in most setups with ease. Its 46.6L volume is ready for graphics cards up to 315mm long and up to 240mm top-mounted radiators. The PA401 is the perfect size for lifestyle and mainstream users wanting standard chassis dimensions.

The case features two different color stylings and three side panel options to best suit your aesthetic wants and hardware needs. Choose between modern, lifestyle-inclined Beige or slick, streamlined Black colorways for a case tailored to your setup’s look. Then decide on a side panel.

The PA401 Wood Edition’s three side panel options include metal, tempered glass, and mesh. The metal panel gives you maximum durability, the tempered glass panel lets you show off your PC’s internals, and the mesh panel boosts airflow and thermal efficiency.

The ProArt PA602 Wood Edition is your go-to chassis for big builds

The ProArt PA602 Wood Edition is ready for your heftiest builds, featuring support for EATX motherboards, graphics cards up to 440mm long, and top-mounted radiators up to 420mm.

The PA602 is perfect for professionals and serious content creators with advanced PC components such as large AIO cooling radiators.

Don’t let its footprint fool you — the ProArt PA602 Wood Edition still puts an emphasis on subdued style. You’ll have a choice between two colorways, Modern Black or Retro Brown, and two side panel options, metal or tempered glass. Whether you want the most durable desktop or a sturdy showcase for your incredible hardware, the PA602 has you covered.
