The ASUS ROG G1000 gaming desktop is now available in the Philippines at an introductory price of ₱399,995, sold through select ROG Exclusive Stores nationwide. The local package bundles Office Home 2024, Microsoft 365 Basic, and an ROG gaming keyboard and mouse with the machine itself — a 104-liter ultra tower that is the first prebuilt PC with holographic fan displays.
What ₱399,995 buys
The Philippine configuration matches the global launch spec announced by ASUS on September 22:
| Component | Specification |
|---|
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (8 cores, 16 threads, up to 5.2GHz) |
| GPU | ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080, 16GB GDDR7 |
| RAM | 32GB DDR5, expandable to 128GB across 4 slots |
| Storage | 2TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD, up to 4TB supported, plus 2 SATA ports |
| Motherboard | AMD X870 chipset |
| PSU | 1,000W, 80 Plus Gold |
| Cooling | 420mm AIO in a dedicated ROG Thermal Atrium |
| Chassis | 104L ATX ultra tower (11.4 x 22.9 x 24.2 inches), about 40kg |
ASUS says a higher-end option with the Ryzen 9 9950X3D will follow later, and in its launch materials calls the machine "more than just a gaming desktop" — "a statement of engineering excellence." Globally the G1000 sells through the ASUS Store, Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg and Micro Center. ASUS also lists the same Ryzen 7 / RTX 5080 / 32GB / 2TB build on its US online store, where the unit was marked out of stock with no public price displayed at the time of writing, so a direct peso-to-dollar comparison is not yet possible.
The AniMe Holo light show
The G1000's signature feature is AniMe Holo, the first holographic fan system in a prebuilt PC. Three X-shaped holographic fan displays are built into the chassis: two 215mm units up front and a large 380mm unit with 720 LEDs behind the side panel, projecting customizable full-color visuals while running at a quiet 20.5 dBA. The holographic hardware sits in an isolated chamber with a hinge-door design, so its motion does not add vibration noise or disturb airflow to the main components. Lighting and visuals sync across the GPU, cooling fans, water block and the holographic display through Armoury Crate and Aura Sync.
Thermal Atrium, explained
Cooling is the other engineering pitch. The ROG Thermal Atrium is a separate compartment decoupled from the main chassis, giving the 420mm all-in-one radiator its own supply of cool ambient air instead of pre-heated case air. ASUS claims the arrangement cuts CPU temperatures by up to 16°C, and a physical Fan Key on the case switches airflow behavior without software.
Who this is for in the Philippines
At ₱399,995, the G1000 is not competing with DIY builds on price — a self-assembled Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RTX 5080 system costs substantially less, and buyers at this tier usually know it. What the G1000 sells is the combination of warranty-backed integration, the Thermal Atrium's cooling headroom, and a showpiece holographic chassis that cannot be bought as a standalone part. The introductory pricing and bundled software and peripherals sweeten a first wave that ASUS is clearly aiming at collectors and showcase builds rather than value hunters. Alongside the desktop, two ROG Slash travel items reach the Philippines in Q4 2026: the Slash Backpack Edition 20 at ₱10,995 and the Slash Hard-Case Luggage Edition 20 at ₱15,995. For availability, ASUS points buyers to its ROG Exclusive Stores; stock at launch is in-store rather than through the usual online marketplaces.
