APNX is comprised of teams across Taiwan and Europe with over 20 years of experience in product development in the gaming and PC hardware space. APNX is one of nine brands from the group, Pro Gamersware, and benefits from the combined resources, expertise, and investment in the formation of its products. “This launch is a historical moment for our team,” said Tony Lin, CEO of APNX. ” APNX is our first chance to collaborate and put everything we’ve learned into a single brand. So far, everyone’s expectations have been exceeded.”
The C1’s curved edges, smooth finish, and toolless paneling make for a comfortable building experience regardless of how you want to build. The front L-shaped mesh panel gives the C1 its unique look and excellent thermal efficiency as the large mesh area optimizes front and side airflow.
The C1 case is designed to perform right out of the box. 4x pre-installed 30 mm APNX FP1 fans come in the case, delivering a boost to thermals without the need to buy separately. The FP1 reaches an impressive and efficient 86.9 CFM airflow with up to 1600 RPM; a performance boost of 30-50% over regular 25 mm fans.
The C1 provides perforated front, side, and top panels for multiple cooling configurations. The interior allows for up to dual 360 mm radiator support, 11 fan slots, clearance for even the biggest graphics cards, and an optional GPU card holder and riser cable kit (sold separately). If you want to go for a clean build, the removable cable management sidebar on the motherboard backplate will help to funnel and hide your cables. If removed, you open up a bracket for additional fan or radiator options, which offers a further boost to cooling performance over the stock configuration.
Other features include:
- 8 mm panels thickness made of SGCC and SECC steel
- I/O panel ports: 2x USB 3.0 type-A, 1x USB 3.0 type-C, and a 3.5 mm audio jack
- Two removable dust filters – one behind the front panel, and the other under the case
- Rubber grommets and Velcro straps for cable management
- GPU Card Kit provides a cardholder and riser cable (sold separately)
The C1 case will be sold at an MSRP at US$139 for black or white, and MSRP at US$159 for ChromaFlair. Availability may vary by region.
What Else is In the APNX Fall Line-up?
Along with the launch of the FP1 case fan – that comes included in the C1 case – is the aftermarket FP2 case fan. Like its FP1 cousin, the FP2’s 30 mm design outperforms standard 25 mm fans and is the best overall performer in the FP fan series. The FP2 comes encased in a premium steel plate frame and includes a reverse flow blade to let you customize your airflow direction.
