ASK announced on October 1st the start of pre-orders for the "ASK ORIGINAL PCKIT NieR," a DIY PC kit that utilizes the "H5 Flow NieR SQUARE ENIX 15th Anniversary Edition" PC case, a collaborative model commemorating the NieR series' 15th anniversary. The estimated market price is around ¥388,000, with the "ASK ORIGINAL PCKIT NieR assembled (with assembly service)" expected to be around ¥398,000. Shipments are scheduled to begin sequentially from late October. It can be purchased from the AIQA Market Amazon store and ASK Direct Rakuten Ichiba store.
The "ASK ORIGINAL PCKIT NieR" is a configuration kit designed for the collaborative case, which is based on NZXT's "H5 Flow" mid-tower case. A key feature is that components such as the CPU, motherboard, graphics card, and memory have been selected with careful consideration for compatibility with the case size, overall compatibility, cooling performance, and power supply capacity. The configuration emphasizes a unified aesthetic between the case's special design and the internal components, primarily featuring white-themed parts.
ASK states that they have assembled the actual unit in-house, confirmed physical interference and connectivity, and conducted operational verification, including stress tests. Because the configuration has been pre-verified for common DIY PC concerns like "will it fit in the case?" and "will parts interfere with each other?", it's an easy choice even for first-time builders.
Furthermore, an "assembly service" is available for those who find it difficult to assemble the PC themselves. With this service, a system with the identical configuration as the kit will be assembled domestically and delivered with Windows 11 installed and verified for operation. This option is referred to as the ASK ORIGINAL PCKIT NieR assembled (with assembly service).
