APNX has officially introduced the APNX V1, a sophisticated mid-tower case crafted to offer a high degree of cooling customization and build versatility. Designed with a dual-chamber structure and panoramic view, the V1 blends style with functionality, appealing to gamers, professionals, and system builders who prioritize both performance and aesthetics in their setups.
The APNX V1 is structured with an angled front intake, slanted at 45°, which efficiently channels cool airflow toward the GPU and CPU areas. This intake is compatible with a variety of fan sizes, including up to 2 x 160mm, 2 x 140mm, or 3 x 120mm fans, ensuring robust cooling options for different setups. The top and side panels are vented for optimal airflow and heat dissipation, supporting both efficient cooling and clear visibility of internal components.
Key Features and Specifications
Comprehensive Cooling Support
The APNX V1 offers extensive compatibility with various cooling hardware configurations. It can house up to ten fans, three 360mm radiators, and a 170mm air cooler, making it well-suited for even the most demanding builds. The adjustable motherboard positioning further enhances cooling options, enabling airflow optimization toward the GPU or creating extra space for thicker radiators at the top.
Tool-Free Access and Installation
Ease of assembly is a key design focus of the APNX V1. The front-angled, top, and side panels lock and snap into place without tools or screws, making them easy to remove for maintenance or adjustments. A quick-release bracket design also simplifies the installation of fans and radiators, allowing users to build or upgrade their systems with minimal hassle.
Aesthetic Flexibility and Finish Options
Available in black, white, or a black-and-white mix, the APNX V1 provides a variety of color options to suit individual preferences. Additionally, users can select models with a wood-accented front-right panel, crafted from either ash or walnut, for a distinctive, natural touch to complement the modern design.
Streamlined Cable Management
The V1 includes a dedicated cable management channel featuring fasteners and rubber pathways, helping users maintain a clean and organized interior. This attention to cable management enhances airflow and keeps the case looking neat, even with more complex builds.
Adaptable GPU Support
The case accommodates graphics cards up to 395mm in length, with an adjustable GPU mount that allows for customizable height and swivel angles. This flexibility ensures secure support for heavy graphics cards, catering to enthusiasts who use larger, high-performance GPUs.
Versatile Storage Options
For storage flexibility, the APNX V1 incorporates a hinged storage bracket that supports up to 6 x 2.5” SSDs or a combination of 2 x 3.5” HDDs and 4 x 2.5” SSDs. This configuration offers ample storage space while providing easy access for drive installations or upgrades.
Efficient Dust Protection
Dust management in the V1 is handled through removable filters located at the bottom, side, and front, with an additional filter built into the top of the case. These filters are designed for easy removal, allowing for straightforward cleaning and maintenance to maintain peak airflow.
The APNX V1 mid-tower case will be available at a starting MSRP of US$119.9, with additional models ranging up to US$149.9 for those with wood-accented panels. APNX has planned a regional rollout, with specific availability varying by location.
Vertical GPU Holder Kit 2
Alongside the V1 case, APNX is releasing the Vertical GPU Holder Kit 2, which is compatible with the V1 and priced at US$79.9 / 89.9€. The kit features a durable, steel-based mount that holds the graphics card vertically for an enhanced visual presentation and includes a PCI Express® 5.0 X16 riser cable to support full-speed GPU operation.
