Build Your Next PC in Style with Affordable ASUS Cases

Too often, budget PC cases force you to make compromises. Some cheap options skimp on materials, features, and design, leaving you disappointed with the final look of your PC. But the truth is, you don’t have to spend big to get a stylish case that will show off your components and let them perform to their full potential. ASUS offers a variety of affordable PC cases that combine the features you need with a more premium look than you’d expect.

Small size – big ambitions: ASUS Prime AP201 case

Let's start with a well-known favorite - ASUS Prime AP201. This microATX case combines efficient cooling and support for a wide range of components in a compact, easy-to-build design.

With a volume of 33 liters, it’s the perfect balance between full-size cases and small SFF solutions. It takes up minimal desk space, making it ideal for dorms or small apartments. You’ll need a microATX (or smaller) motherboard, but there’s enough room for large graphics cards, top-mounted 360mm radiators, standard ATX power supplies, and high-performance CPU coolers. The case also features a generous 32mm cable management bay for improved airflow.

Like all cases in this series, ASUS Prime AP201 Available in black and white with matching internal cables. You can also choose a version with a tempered glass side panel for an aesthetic look or a mesh side panel option for improved cooling. Depending on the modification, the price varies, but does not exceed 5000 UAH. It is not surprising that this case has become a favorite in the compact PC enthusiast community.

Panoramic design at an affordable price: ASUS A31

Panoramic cases are very popular due to their elegant look. Using two tempered glass panels (side and front), they provide an unobstructed view of your built PC. ASUS A31 makes this premium design accessible to a wider audience.

The glass front and side panels give you a great view of your components, and the solid construction eliminates the front bezel for a nearly seamless look. The 8° angle of the PSU cover gives the case a unique look and allows you to show off the ARGB fans.

The I/O panel is located at the bottom of the front panel for easy access. You get a USB Type-C 20Gbps port for quick connection of peripherals.

ASUS A31 Supports ATX motherboards including BTF motherboards with rear panel connectors, powerful graphics cards up to 380mm long (with room for larger models like the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090), and liquid cooling radiators up to 80mm thick.
