#ASUS #asuspcdiy #ASUSFest - Retro Meets Modern?! A challenge has arrived from ASUS UK! Can we turn the Prime AP201 into a Retrowave work of art?

Of all the ASUS cases I've had the pleasure to build inside of, the Prime AP201 is up there with one of my all time favourites. When ASUS UK asked me if I'd like to modify the chassis for ASUSFest 2023 with a custom 'Retrowave' theme, you bet I jumped at the opportunity!

From choosing the correct pallet of paints, to designing the decal stencils and bringing this machine to life with the relative RGB spectrum, this one has been a real pleasure from start to finish.

All of the parts used for the build were supplied by ASUS ROG UK, as the PC will now be given away to one lucky winner! (yes, I'm totally jealous!).
I'll drop the link for the Gleam giveaway at the bottom of the description.

It's not very often I get chance to fully embrace a modified build here on the channel, but this was a blast for sure! The Prime AP201 is an excellent chassis with room to accommodate even the largest of modern hardware. Combine those facts with a wicked one-off paint job and you end up with a a really slick build which OOZES with retro vibes!

I love this build.

Huge thanks to ASUS for supporting this build, it's been a pleasure!
