I've read (and subsequently watched) a ton of Demon Slayer in my time, but it's just not for me, and that's okay. All that means is I'm likely never going to pick up some figures of Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, or anyone else in the Demon Slayer Corps, and can save on the last remaining bits of precious IKEA display cabinet space I have left.
I might still have to save some desk space, however, as the Asus TUF GAMING GT301 Demon Slayer Edition case, which is $269.27 at Newegg, is so stunning that it's hard not to be a fan. Instead of just plastering UV-printed decals of Nezuko's face all over one of the best gaming PCs, Asus has instead used Nezuko's iconic kimono and transformed it into a GT301 case - bamboo muzzle and all.
Anime-themed gaming tech is not new by any means, especially where Asus is concerned. The brand has been behind some of the most stunning collaborations in the space. Still to this day, I wonder if my pink-themed gaming room should be re-decorated in its entirety as an excuse to get and match with the Asus ROG Evangelion-02 Asuka PC and all its many accessories.
This Demon Slayer version of the Asus TUF Gaming GT301 case and its theming are just as on point as the Asuka line. Nezuko Kamado, one of the lead characters from the Demon Slayer series, looks like she's essentially been bitten by a PC-demon and transformed into the case.
The GT301 is an ATX mid-tower pink case with 120mm Aura Sync RGB-illuminated fans, up to six fan-mounting points, space for 280/360mm integrated water-cooling radiators, a 6-port Aura Sync addressable-RGB controller hub, mounting space for up to 2 HDDs and 6 SDDs, and a customizable headphone hook. The latter of which is a nice extra touch, considering Asus also released a Nezuko-themed gaming headset.
Of course, where this PC case shines the most is down to how it takes Nezuko's iconic outfit and transforms it into a piece of gaming hardware. It's not just the black and pink colorscheme of her kimono that's been represented, but even its iconic asanoha patterning has been cleverly re-purposed as the front panel to allow for better airflow.
Some anime licensing can be pretty lazy, but I can't get enough of how Asus and its TUF Gaming division were able to make something stylish and practical out of the Demon Slayer branding.
I'm not a fan of the grill at the top, which plasters Nezuko's name and her silhouette, as if fans don't know who the case is based upon. Luckily, it's the laziest thing about the design, with otherwise takes the cake as one of the best-looking bits of anime tech I've ever seen.
This case was released back in 2022, so it and the rest of its lineup, which includes a Nezuko Kamada mouse pad and a L.E. Nezuko Kamado Gaming Headset, which even uses her bamboo muzzle as the mic, aren't as readily in stock as other Asus collabs. Fortunately, you can at least still grab the case at sites like Newegg in both the US and the UK and build your rig in time for Demon Slayer Infinity Castle, and this case may have convinced me to do the same.
