Sydney, Australia, November 12, 2008 \u2013 ASUS, manufacturer of high quality computer chassis\u2019, has released the new ASUS TA-F Series chassis.<\/p>\n
Featuring a foldable, space-saving design, the TA-F Series chassis is easy to move and carry. Ideal for experienced users and do-it-yourself beginners, the TA-F Series chassis is tool-free and user-friendly for simple, straightforward installation. The unique foldable design makes the TA-F Series chassis truly ultraportable, measuring just 434 x 87 x 434 mm fully folded \u2013 enabling effortless haulage for users and potentially saving vendors and dealers storage and transportation costs by up to 30%.<\/p>\n
Back at home or the office, the TA-F Series chassis can be instantly opened out. Conveniently spaced USB ports located in front of the chassis allows users to connect devices without interference. Inside, safe folded edges prevent injury during installation. With its tool-free set up, the TA-F Series chassis includes screw-less ODD, FDD, and HDD holders, as well as screw eyelet indicators marking motherboard orientation. Moreover, the inclusion of a 5.25\u201d rack \u2013 convertible into a 3.5\u201d version \u2013 can be used to install card readers and FDDs, providing users with greater expandability options. Externally, the TA-F Series chassis features a unique sliding door, which doubles as an exquisite design centerpiece, as well as providing extra protection for hardware drives. When not in use, the TA-F Series chassis can simply be folded flat for easy storage.<\/p>\n
The TA-F Series chassis supports a pair of front and rear 12cm large fans to maximise airflow. The front fan draws fresh air into the chassis, while heat generated by the system is expelled immediately via the rear fan \u2013 providing efficient airflow and cooler temperatures. Vents located at the bottom of the chassis draw fresh air to enhance the cooling effect around the HDD area. Additionally, the two side outlets provide cool air to efficiently lower the CPU and video cards\u2019 temperature. This optimised thermal solution enables long and continuous operations for the most powerful processing platforms today, increasing overall system performance and stability.<\/p>\n
Overall, the TA-F Series chassis is a modest, minimalist piece of hardware \u2013 choose between two models: the TA-F11 in elegant ebony black and the TA-F21 in sleek, stylish silver.<\/p>\n
The ASUS TA-F Series chassis will be available January 2009 from selected computer resellers. Recommended retail price (inc GST) from AU$149, NZ$199.<\/p>\n
