They are!
Yes, it's fully loaded, and I'm picking it up by the handles.
It really depends on which model you get because all of the aftermarket coolers and other accessories will be different sizes, but I'd say yes, at least in terms of the founder's edition. I have a Sapphire Nitro Vega 64, which is a much larger card than the 2080 FE, and I could barely fit another one in there if I wanted to.
Yes, it'll work. Standoffs for various Motherboard types are included in each case.

- br>Sturdybr>- Simple to construct inbr>- Looks fantasticbr>- The ability to function!
Cons:
- Size?br>Normally, with so few reviews, I wouldn't even consider a $150 case
However, I have a soft spot for ASUS, and I thought it looked really nice when I first saw it, and I'm glad I did! This is a fantastic case. It was incredibly simple to install; the only issue I had was that one of my PSU wires was nearly too long for it. However, there are plenty of wire management holes and Velcro to run wires, and the shroud and back panel are both large enough to conceal anything else. You'll love this case because the buttons and front USB ports are sturdy, the filters are nice, and removing the side panels is simple. br>CAUTION: THIS PAGE MAY CONTAIN OFFENSIVE MATERIAL. Take a look at the size of this case; it's almost a full tower case. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's a lot bigger than my old mid case. In addition, if you don't have a sync-enabled device, The stock RGB controller on the able mobo isn't great, but colors and modes can be controlled through it, so I guess that's a pro and a con. This is a fantastic case in general. This is the case for you if you've shifted through dozens of cool NZXT, Corsair, and Thermaltakes but nothing has really caught your eye.
The money spent on this case was well spent. Some may argue that this is a large PC case, but its quality and appearance cannot be matched. This thing screams, "I'm over compensating for something, but look at how I can do weight lifting with my PC while gaming!" (I wouldn't recommend it, but you get the idea). The top straps are extremely strong and can easily support the weight of a fully assembled computer. I have a normal atx Tuf X470 motherboard in here, and I have plenty of room when cleaning and making upgrades because the internals are so wide. It was also a lot easier to put together because the motherboard standoffs were already installed, so it was just a matter of lining them up and screwing them down. The PSU and hard drive shroud also help with cable management, which is useful when trying to make it look nice. This was my first time building a computer, and it was incredibly simple. Asus reminds me a lot of the AK-47. 47, because anyone could easily build a computer with this case and motherboard. I was ready to go right away with no issues, and she's still going strong after a month! As for the rgb, it's a no-brainer. Personally, I wish I hadn't gone down the dark path, but it was useful for doodling up colors. Overall, this is a great build for those who are Tuf(tough). In a heartbeat, I would buy it again.
My first gaming/built-from-scratch computer was housed in a TUF GT501 case. Overall, the Asus GT501 is well-made and has a pleasing appearance. The Pros: br>br>The Pros: br>br>The Pros: br>b br>br>The handles are a nice touch; I used to have to lug my desktop from my office to my living room, and it was a pain to move. It's a minor detail, but it's proven to be extremely helpful. br>br>The cable management in this case was impressive. A plastic housing covers the power supply and the entire bottom 3 inches of the case, hiding cables and the power supply, making it easy to organize and hide cable mess. br>br>The blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah br>br>Reinstalling the plastic power supply cover was a pain because it wouldn't snap in and kept jamming. It was so difficult to install that I now try to avoid removing the cover unless absolutely necessary. br>br>The manual wasn't very helpful or detailed, and there was no information about the RGB fans that came with the case, so I had to figure it out by trial and error and some internet searching.
This is a very sturdy computer case. Be aware that it is large and heavy, but it is also long-lasting. The straps are so cute! br>br>The case is excellent and includes a few extras right out of the box, such as velcro cable ties and zip ties. I really like it, and I don't think there's a better case out there. br>br>One thing I'd like to point out is that the fans are a little perplexing. To begin with, there are a variety of knickknacks already plugged into them that you may or may not require, so you may need to begin unplugging items from these fans. For example, I didn't need the RGB controller, so I had to unplug it and remove it. Because the manual makes no mention of the fans, I had to do some googling and figure it out on my own. It's also worth noting that the fans are three in number. (which did not line up with the 4-pointed star) Because my motherboard only has pin connectors, you'll need to connect them to the PSU via molex rather than the motherboard.
This case is extremely user-friendly and well-designed for its intended audience. Between the obscene amount of cable management space, the pre-installed and cable-fed case fans, and the hard drive bays that are already drilled for BOTH 3. 5 and 2. 5 drives. In fact, I'm at a loss for words. This is a fantastic case. This is a very sturdy (and heavy) piece of equipment. The final product is flawless. I'm confident in the structural integrity of the tempered glass pane because it's thick enough. To be honest, Asus, you did a fantastic job on this. You've turned me into an Asus fanboy.
