IT enthusiasts have yet another attractive product to look for on the market. ASUS has unveiled a new chassis to the world, one that allows users to easily fold it when they want to move it around. The VENTO TA-F Series chassis comes with a space-saving design, as well as user-friendliness and maximized airflow system created for daily computing. Since it can be folded, the chassis allows easy carrying and transportation, and also provides both experienced users and beginners with a tool-free design for quick and easy installation. The TA-F Series comes in two flavors, the TA-F11 in sophisticated black and the TA-F21 in stylish silver.

The characteristics of the chassis can be easily summarized using two phrases: ultra portability and space saving design. When fully folded, the case measures 434 x 87 x 434 mm. This offers vendors and dealers a way to save storage and transportation costs by about 30 percent. Furthermore, buyers can carry it back home or to the office with great ease, and can also unfold it quickly for use. On the front of the TA-F, users will find a unique sliding door which offers extra protection for hardware drives, but can also be seen as an exquisite design centerpiece.

Another important characteristic of the chassis is its user-friendliness. It comes with conveniently spaced USB ports placed in front, allowing users to connect devices without interfering with each other. The TA-F Series chassis features a tool-free set-up, including screw-less ODD, FDD and HDD holders, ensuring an easy installation of the hardware. Besides, it also has screw eyelet indicators meant for effortless motherboard orientation. The chassis also features a 5.25" rack which can be converted into a 3.5" one, allowing for card readers and FDDs (Floppy Disk Drives) to be installed.

The TA-F Series enables users to install a pair of front and rear 12cm large fans to ensure airflow maximization (the front fan would draw fresh air into the chassis, while the heat inside would be expelled immediately via the rear fan). Besides, the chassis features venting outlets on the bottom, meant to allow cooling of the HDD area as well. There are also side venting areas which ensure a better cooling of the CPU and graphics card. The optimized thermal solution provided by the chassis has been designed to offer increased overall system performance and stability.
