Complete System
Building a system inside the AI-Crystal was very straightforward, as there’s a vast amount space on the interior. Event our massive Sapphire 270X didn’t stretch the length of the chassis, so plenty of room to spare for a thick radiator up front.
The horizontal grommet on the shroud works perfectly, so no need to do that ugly “trail over/under the card” thing with the power cables.
The cable routing does a great job, making it easy to hide trailing wires out of sight around the motherboard.
Airflow is not going to be a problem here, with those three fans giving us a wall of fresh air right through the chassis.
And don’t forget that 140mm exhaust fan, as well as the passive exhaust you’ll get from the top panel filter.
The HDD bays in the bottom will get some cooling too, thanks to three slots on the side that will allow airflow under the shroud.
All panels back in place and the AI-Crystal looks absolutely stunning. You can still see the hardware inside, but the chassis is very reflective with the fans powered off.
Same around the back, you can see some bits, but not much.
Power on the system and the fans shine through beautifully, as well as any other LED lighting on your hardware.
The lighting from the fans isn’t too powerful, so it’s giving the interior a subtle glow rather than lighting it up like a shop window. Throw an RGB motherboard and GPU in here, and you’ll have a great way of showing off the lighting effects.
Overall, this is a fantastic looking build, and it’ll compliment any high-end system build with ease.
This case is actually made by Jonsbo. I have one of these that has been re-branded by Rosewill and called the Cullinan. I love it. Great case to work with. I swapped out the standard fans for Corsair RGB and moved my watercooled build in to it. You can likely find the Anidees case cheaper without fans.
