APNX is a relatively new brand in the gaming hardware market, but it has already made some noise with its first high-end products. Today, we take a closer look at the V1 PC chassis and a set of F1 series fans, which helped us finish a test setup.
The APNX V1 is far from a standard PC case, but you must read our review to discover its unique features.
I also wanted to thank Pro Gamers Group and Caseking.de for delivering the APNX product samples and additional accessories that made this review possible.
Let’s move to the specifications and features part of our review so we know what we are testing.
APNX stands for the Advanced Performance Nexus, your ultimate destination for premium quality PC components. Launched in 2023 as the newest member brand of the Pro Gamersware (PGW) alliance, we represent the collective experience and expertise of countless industry professionals.
Unique thermal design
This innovative design within a dual chamber panoramic case structure features a 45° angular intake, which enhances overall airflow and thermal efficiency for both the GPU and CPU while preserving the hallmark full tempered glass view. The angular intake panel supports three 12cm, two 14cm, and up to two 16cm fans.
Form follows function
The top mesh ventilation pattern visualizes the unique path of the airflow within, intuitively demonstrating the cooling dynamics of the angular intake while improving top airflow.
Adjustable motherboard position mechanism
The V1 offers two motherboard installation positions to grant more space for enhancing GPU airflow and cooling performance or for a comfortable installation of thicker radiators/fans to prioritize CPU cooling.
Take control of your cooling
Enjoy a wide array of potential cooling configurations with ten fan slots plus support for liquid coolers up to 360mm and CPU coolers up to 170mm.
A statement of style
Available in black, white, and a black-white mixed variants, V1 also features our first-ever wood-accented panel, crafted from solid walnut or ash wood with a protective finish. Choose a look that complements your style.
Redesigned storage bracket
The user-friendly, hinged storage brackets allow for a streamlined setup and the installation of many storage devices.
GPU structural support
A GPU mount with adjustable height and swivel angle is included so your heavy graphics card (up to 395mm in length) is in good hands.
Neat and tidy cable management
V1 is designed for intuitive cable management. Clear cable channels with included velcro ties and rubber pathways in the side panel ensure a super-clean appearance for your build.
Hassle-free maintenance
V1 includes removable filters on the bottom, side, and front-angled panels, plus a built-in top filter for hassle-free cleaning.
Smart bracket with branding
A special bracket design addresses the void created by the adjustable motherboard displacement, also serving as a stylish brand decoration.
Vertical GPU Holder Kit (Optional)
Vertical GPU Holder Kit 2 by APNX is a vertical GPU mount with an included PCI Express® 5.0 X16 flat line riser cable, allowing the graphics card to run at full speed. It is steel-based for ultimate durability and compatible for use with V1. Available in black or white.
