TechSource puts ASUS's holographic gaming PC through a reality check
The ROG G1000's animated panels impress, but its cooling results and component choices complicate the premium price.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
ASUS Made a Gaming PC that's out of this world - ROG G1000
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 1:03Front and side AniMe Holo modules display animated imagery, with customization demonstrated through Armoury Crate.
- 3:47The cooling layout separates components into zones, including an isolated upper chamber for the liquid cooler.
- 6:51Comparisons show no noticeable thermal improvement from the separate cooler chamber.
- 7:44A component-by-component estimate puts a comparable self-built system below the reviewed configuration's retail price.
- 9:36The presenter questions the Prime motherboard, single CPU power cable and memory speed in a premium prebuilt.
- 12:20His verdict credits the display concept but rejects the overall value proposition.
Opening this PC feels like opening a bank vault, TechSource's presenter jokes. The ROG G1000 has the heft to suit the comparison, but its real party piece is the animated imagery floating across its front and side panels.
In "ASUS Made a Gaming PC that's out of this world - ROG G1000", he customizes those displays with images and GIFs before getting to the less theatrical questions: how cool does it run, how loud does it get, and what are you paying for? The isolated upper cooling chamber produces no noticeable thermal advantage in his comparisons. At roughly $6,000, the configuration also leaves him questioning the Prime motherboard and slower memory. He admires the idea without endorsing the whole package.
That tension carries into the comments. Viewers discuss whether the graphics card and motherboard justify the price, while one wants the holographic fans available separately. The review reached about 268,000 views, making it the most watched of the week's two uploads and the channel's most active video right now.
The other release, "Its time for a headset Upgrade", considers three HyperX gaming headsets across different budgets and wireless options. Meanwhile, the older couple's dual-PC build and "The PC Market is terrible right now - FOF35" continue drawing substantial daily viewing: dream hardware and the awkward economics of buying it, side by side.
Subscribers were unchanged over the week, and daily views are slightly below their usual level. Among nearby tech channels, Dave2D is enjoying a pronounced daily lift, while Techquickie is quieter than usual. For TechSource, the week's most interesting hardware is also its clearest buying dilemma: an eye-catching case doesn't settle the question of what's inside.

It's the block, the mount, and the pump. The benefit you get from the external radiator IE cooler water and lower noise doesn't matter if the block can't transfer heat from the chip well.
