Anidees AI-4 M-ATX Silenced Chassis Review

Complete System

Installing our demo system in the AI4 was an absolute breeze, the whole thing only took around 15 minutes to complete. Although if I am honest, I actually spend ten minutes installing the CPU cooler bracket for the Corsair H80i, only to find that it would not fit in the back of the chassis, I could mount the cooler with a fan against the chassis (pull configuration), but then failed to find the space to attached CPU mounting block thumbs screws, while also finding there was too much strain on the cooling pipes, so I advise you plan to air cool your rig with this chassis.

The dual front fans are a great bonus for improving value for money as they provide our GPU with a nice wall of cool air. With the hard drive bays mounted on a separate side panel, I also found there to be ample room for a long graphics card.

With no cable routing space behind the motherboard I found I saved time in the build, but given the small size of the case there weren’t many cables to install anyway and keeping things neat and tidy wasn’t too difficult at all.

The top mounted PSU area is a little old school, but it does mean the whole chassis can sit lower to the ground as it doesn’t need a bottom air intake, helping keep the overall form factor nice and compact.

With the hard drive bays clipped back into place the build is complete, a clean (ish) build, great airflow and very easy to work with.

All panels back in place and the chassis looks as clean and tidy as it did when I took it out of the box. A side panel window would be a nice option, but I rather like the clean and professional look this chassis offers as it is.
