It's the latest desktop PC from the Republic of Gamers branch of ASUS, and while the GD30 isn't the wildest looking product to bear the logo, it's got a unique style all of its own. The front of the case has interchangeable panels, allowing for six different looks.
But lets face it, having your PC case resemble a Stormtroopers helmet is probably best anyway.
Inside the GD30 you'll find all manner of wonderful PC gaming things.
- Up to an Intel Core i7 7700 processor
- Up to 32GB of DDR4 2400MHz RAM
- Graphics card from NVIDIA up to 8GB GTX 1080
- Storage options for 3TB HDD and 512GB PCIe SSD
- Optical drive
- All the ports you could wish for including USB-C 3.1 and an integrated SD card reader.
The bad news is that ASUS isn't scheduling the GD30 for launch until Q3 2017, or in the UK at least. Right now we haven't any information on other markets, but Q3 would place the GD30 on shelves in the summer, right around Computex.
If you pick one up though you'll be well looked after for upgrades, as you'd hope. Inside the GD30 will be space for six HDDs, two SSDs, five fans and a water cooling set up, so you can really go nuts and make it your own.
You'll also find ASUS' Aura RGB lighting system, because you can't have a gaming tower in 2017 without lighting it up like the Vegas Strip. There's no pricing information at the time of writing, but on looks alone we're pretty interested in this one.
