The ASUS ROG Strix GL10CS is a compact Windows 10 gaming desktop. It is powered by an 8th generation Intel Core i5-8400 processor. The chassis has clean lines, sharp creases and an armor-inspired finish, and it takes up 27 liters.
Aura Sync RGB lighting uses 20 LEDs and matches the front bezel. It can be synced with compatible mice, keyboards, headphones and other peripherals. The thermal design has two isolated air chambers. The upper one holds the CPU and GPU. The power supply and drives sit in the lower one, so heat from the CPU and GPU stays away from them.
DTS Headphone:X provides 7.1-channel virtual surround sound through headphones. It has settings for games, movies and sports, plus a built-in equalizer. ROG Armoury Crate software controls the system and lighting and manages up to four gaming profiles. The system went through drop, vibration, thermal, noise and voltage testing.
