Anidees AI Crystal Tempered Glass Chassis Review

A Closer Look – Exterior

Out of the box, we can see that the AI is quite large, and that’s not surprising given it’ll support a couple of 360mm radiators. Down the left side, you’ll find a full-size glass side panel with a bit of tinted finish.

The panel comes mounted with aluminium screws over four rubber washers on metal stems. Easy to remove, and the mounting screws look stylish too.

Down the right side, another identical glass panel and mounting system, so best keep that cable routing neat and tidy, as it’ll be slightly exposed on both sides!

The front panel features more glass and gives the AI a somewhat monolithic look when the system is powered off.

Around the back, you’ll find a 140mm pre-installed fan, with optional 120mm mounts. There are 7 expansion slots, each fitted with reusable and ventilated metal covers, and finally a PSU cut-out at the bottom with slide-out dust filter.

Up top, you’ll find a large ventilated section with a magnetic and washable dust filter for quick and easy maintenance.

Pull off the cover and you’ll find mounts for 3 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm fans, and that of course includes radiators of up to 360mm or 280mm.

The front I/O panel is nicely designed, and it features a three-speed fan controller which hooks up to the internal fan hub. There’s the usual audio jacks and power controls next to that, and finally a pair of USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports.

The base of the chassis has four hard plastic feet with tough rubber grips, and there’s a slide-out dust filter for the PSU too. Now, let’s get those side panels off and see what lurks within!
