ASUS Japan has unveiled the ROG CROSSHAIR 2006 motherboard, a special edition celebrating the 20th anniversary of the ROG brand. Priced at nearly 140,000 yen, this motherboard features a nostalgic design that replicates the original blue and white slots from its 2006 predecessor, which debuted just before the launch of Intel's Core 2 Duo processor.
The release of the ROG CROSSHAIR 2006 has generated significant interest, with initial stock selling out on the same day it became available. Retailers like Orio Spec noted the high demand, reflecting a growing trend in Akihabara for retro-themed PC components. Alongside this motherboard, ASUS also introduced a new liquid cooling kit, the ROG STRIX LC IV 360 ARGB LCD, which supports cable-free operation with compatible motherboards.
As the Akihabara market continues to embrace retro designs, it will be important to monitor how this trend influences consumer preferences and product offerings. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
