The ASUS TUF series now even includes PC cases – including the TUF Gaming GT 501 . The midi tower should be robust and durable thanks to steel up to 1.5 mm thick, a special coating and particularly resilient carrying handles. And of course, neither gaming optics nor gaming features should be missing.
As the first ASUS case we recently have the ROG Strix Helios tested. The striking flagship model has a number of clear strengths, but also a handsome price of around 260 Euro. But there are significantly cheaper ASUS cases – from the TUF series. The TUF Gaming GT 301 is even below the 100 – Euro mark. But we have the TUF Gaming GT 501 in the test, the currently best equipped TUF model. The TUF series originally started with mainboards and promised particularly robust models.
ASUS also wants this DNA with the TUF Gaming GT 501 pour in. Up to 1.5 mm thick and galvanized steel is advertised, a special coating that is supposed to help against scratches and the two handles made of woven cotton, which are up to 30 should withstand kg. The look of the case is characterized by an industrial style – and of course the TUF Gaming GT 501 be designed to accommodate gaming hardware and to cool it adequately. The case is delivered with four pre-assembled case fans and has numerous air openings in the front.
The TUF Gaming GT 360 costs only about half as much as the ROG Strix Helios: It is currently available in stores for around 135 euros to have. That applies at least to the black variant. The more conspicuous white variant costs around 150 Euro.
In the unpacked & touched video we take a first look at the case:

ASUS submits the TUF Gaming GT 501 instructions, warranty information, mounting material, cable ties and a cover are included. An opening in the power supply unit cover can be closed with this plastic plate. It is somewhat unusual that the dust filters for the cover and front are not pre-assembled, but are also delivered as accessories, so to speak. The front dust filter is made of textile, but there is a magnetic dust grille for the cover, which is a bit wider meshed.
