David Pankratz and the ShortCircuit team unboxed the ASUS Edition 20 ROG collection, a high-end hardware bundle totaling $15,000 [1].
The collection represents the peak of current consumer gaming hardware. By bundling extreme-performance components into a single anniversary set, ASUS is targeting the enthusiast market and celebrating 20 years of the Republic of Gamers brand [4].
The hardware suite includes a wide array of components designed for maximum performance. The build is centered around an RTX 5090 GPU [3] and a high-end motherboard. To support the power requirements of these components, the collection includes a power supply with a 3,000W capacity [2].
Beyond the core PC components, the bundle incorporates a showpiece case, and an AIO cooler. The set also provides a complete ecosystem of peripherals, including an OLED monitor, and a Wi-Fi router to ensure the rest of the setup matches the internal specifications.
While the total cost for the full collection reaches $15,000 [1], the bundle is designed as a showcase of the brand's capabilities. The unboxing highlights the scale of the hardware required to maintain the top tier of gaming performance—specifically the massive power delivery and cooling systems needed for the latest generation of GPUs.
“The ASUS Edition 20 ROG collection totals $15,000.”
The release of the Edition 20 collection signals a trend toward 'ultra-enthusiast' hardware where power requirements are scaling rapidly. The inclusion of a 3000W power supply suggests that top-tier GPUs and CPUs are pushing the limits of standard residential power delivery, moving gaming PCs closer to workstation-grade power consumption.
