APNX is thrilled to introduce APNX V1, a mid-tower case designed for customizable cooling precision for both GPU and CPU, housed in a sleek, dual-chamber structure with a panoramic view. Engineered for optimized thermal management, hardware compatibility, and a seamless build experience, the V1 is ideal for gamers, professionals, and system builders.

The APNX V1 features a 45° angled front intake that efficiently directs cool airflow toward the GPU and CPU. The angled fan bracket accommodates up to 2 x 160 mm, 2 x 140 mm or 3 x 120 mm fans, plus the visually appealing top and side panels maximize ventilation and heat dissipation. Furthermore, the adjustable motherboard positioning enables tailored airflow for the GPU or additional space for thicker radiators at the top. Overall, the V1 is designed with airflow dynamics for a high-performance build while maintaining the hallmark view of a panoramic case.



Other highlights include:
  • Impressive Cooling Potential: Supports a wide variety of cooling hardware including ten fans, three 360 mm radiators, and a 170 mm air cooler.
  • Easy Access and Installation: The front angled, top, and both side panels are designed to lock and snap into place without tools or screws. A quick-release bracket design simplifies fan and radiator installation.
  • Personalized Expression: Available in black, white, or a black-and-white mix, with the choice of a wood-accented front-right panel crafted from solid wood, either ash or walnut.
  • Streamlined Cable Management: Features a cable management channel with fasteners and rubber pathways.
  • Robust GPU Support: Adjustable mount with customizable height and swivel angle to secure heavy graphics cards up to 395 mm in length.
  • User-Friendly Designed Storage Bracket: Hinged bracket supports up to 6 x 2.5" SSDs or a combination of 2 x 3.5" HDDs and 4 x 2.5" SSDs, offering a flexible storage solution.
  • Effective Dust Protection: Includes removable filters at the bottom, side, and front areas, along with a built-in top filter for hassle-free maintenance.



The APNX V1 case will launch with an MSRP ranging from US$119.9 / €129.9 to US$149.9 / €159.9, available in black, white, and a black-and-white mix, plus three additional SKUs featuring wood-accented panels. Availability may vary by region.

This looks like an excellent floor case. The front I/O is in an excellent position and the fans on the intake wouldn't be suffocating against a desk or wall.

Nice looking case with a decent feature set & reasonable prices too :)

However, 2 things that would bug me:

A) The design is great for those that have the tower sitting to the right of them, so they can see inside... if yours is to the left of you, all you will see is the slats...

B) Those grill slats with the ends sticking up above the angled part they attach to does not seem particularly user-friendly, especially for those who may wear long-sleeved shirts/blouses, bracelets, and/or who require frequent plugging/unplugging of peripherals/accessories from the front I-O panel....

Maybe just nitpicks to some folks, but I am very design oriented/conscious, so there's that :D

Those fans on the side come with rails for installation which would mean that larger 160mm and 140mm fans arent chocked. Overall looks like a decent case and drive tray even allows for 2x3.5" drives though it lacks rubber dampners.
