Asus Puts Holograms Inside a PC: ROG G1000 Debuts at CES 2026

The prototype showcases AniMe Holo inside a massive chassis, with pricing or a ship date still unannounced.

Overview

  • Asus integrated a holographic display system called AniMe Holo into the ROG G1000, using spinning LED strips to show stills, GIFs, or full video files inside the case.
  • The system uses one 380 mm unit with about 720 LEDs and two 215 mm units with roughly 404 LEDs each, housed in a thick, hinged side panel and a false front panel.
  • These holographic elements are not airflow fans, as they create visuals rather than move air, which influences the case layout and overall size.
  • Cooling is handled by a 420 mm AIO in a separate top chamber with a hood-scoop vent, plus conventional intake and exhaust fans feeding the components in isolated zones.
  • Top configuration details include an RTX 5090 paired with a Ryzen 9 9950X3D, with other GPU options listed by Asus, and reviewers reported a low apparent frame rate for the holo effect and noted that photos do not capture it well; pricing is undisclosed and some coverage expects a Q2 launch without confirmation.
