One of the new things ASUS has on display at Computex is the ROG Avalon, a new hybrid with a motherboard and chassis designed in tandem rather than separately. Not a lot of details were shared though.
To celebrate ROG’s 10 glorious years of pioneering motherboard design, we have dedicated ourselves to raising the bar — with ROG Avalon. This is the first step to our vision of the future of DIY, built around an all-new motherboard and chassis design. By rethinking the limits of the ATX form-factor and redesigning the motherboard and case as a single entity, rather than as two items in tandem, we were able to optimize the layout to alleviate the most frustrating parts of the DIY process.
Avalon features SSD, PSU and graphics-adapter boards for plug-and-play simplicity without messy cabling, and simultaneously brings each component to the forefront for easy access. Avalon’s Z170 chipset-based motherboard also comes with a modular rear I/O for customized connectivity options to fit every need. Join us and Avalon to forge a better future for PC gamers.
