The EngiNeer Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Asus ROG Sets Sights on Casual Gamers with G11 Gaming Desktop Given the choice, we always prefer to roll our own rigs. It's what sets us apart from the casual crowd. However, if you're feeling lazy this time around but still want to swim in Skylake, you might be interested in the new G11 desktop from Asus' Republic of Gamers (ROG) division. Asus says it's taking aim at casual gamers with the G11, and by that it means gamers who aren't really into overclocking or tinkering. Hence why it features an Intel Core i7-6700 Skylake processor -- it's a fast chip but lacks an unlocked multiplier. Even without overclocked parts, the G11 doesn't have to be a slouch. It can be configured with up to 32GB of DDR4-2133 RAM, up to an Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 graphics card with 4GB of GDDR5 memory, and up to four 256GB M.2 PCI-E 3.0 x4 solid state drives with up to a 3TB SATA HDD for storage. Other features include built-in 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connectivity, 300W or 500W power supply, Blu-ray writer, 7.1 channel audio, USB 3.1 Gen 2, Windows 10, and a "[CENSORED]uristic chassis design with Myan-inspired markings" and customizable LED lighting. It also comes with a wireless chiclet gaming keyboard with backlight. Asus didn't say when the G11 will be available or what the starting price will be.
