New Asus casing for 3D gaming


Global Brand Pvt. Ltd., the sole distributor of Asus in Bangladesh has recently introduced the VENTO 7700 casing, which incorporates advanced ventilation technology, easy tool-less installation design and superior scalability to build a powerful 3D gaming machine, says a press release. A unique vertical front panel door further provides quick access and protection for drive bays.

Ventilation technology
The VENTO 7700 provides two 80mm rear fans and one 80mm front fan to maximize airflow inside the casing. The side ventilation hole with air duct further pulls in cool air to lower CPU temperature.

Magic Mask Vertical front panel door
This feature serves to protect the components on the front panel while maintaining the sleekness of the casing. Simply press down the door to unlock it. The door then swings smoothly upwards, revealing an array of optical drives, card readers and other input/output devices that can be accommodated by the VENTO 7700. Furthermore, compared to panel doors that swing open sideways, users no longer have to worry about slamming the door against items on their desks.

No screwdriver and screws
No more tightening and loosening countless screws just to open the case to change a memory stick or install a CD burner. The screw-less locks holds devices firmly in place with user-friendly clips, while the hard drive cage is designed to face the side panel door. Compared with the typical cage designs that face the rear of the case, the VENTO 7700 enables easy hard drive installation without the need to stretching hands into the chassis. The detachable cage and drive bays are also based on the tool-less concept.

Outstanding scalability
The ASUS VENTO 7700 provides support for four 5.25-inch and four 3.5-inch drive bays, seven PCI slots, four USB 2.0 ports and two audio ports to support an array of optical drives, hard disks, sound cards, LAN cards and peripherals.

The product has a price tag of Taka 14,500/- only.
