anidees AI Crystal Cube AR V3 Dual Chamber Tempered Glass EATX/ATX PC Gaming Computer Case, Water-Cooling Ready, Steel Structure, w/ 5 RGB PWM Fans / 2 LED Strips - Black AI-CL-Cube-AR3

The media could not be loaded. I love this thing. Couldn't have been easier to build, the'res multiple rubber gaskets and open areas between the "show side" and the "cable spaghetti side" that make it easy to put everything where you want and out of the way. The box includes a number of extremely cheap quality zip ties that help out with cable management as well. You may want to invest in some higher quality ones if you care enough. Multiple reviews mention airflow not being all that great. 5 case fans are included with purchase, 4 in the front for intake and 1 in the back for output. If you stick with the default configuration, airflow isn't going to be great. I purchased and installed the additional optional fans; there's room for 2 140mm fans and 3 80mm fans for the front intake and 4 120mm fans OR 2 140mm fans on top for additional output(I went with the 4 120mm fans. Anidees sells these in 3 packs, creating a hot dog bun problem). This expandability is not explained well on this page or in the manual, so hopefully that answers a lot of people's questions. My Gigabyte Aorus Elite Z390 keeps these running at standard speed under intensive gaming loads; airflow doesn't have to be a problem, but expect to pay another $100 or so to get it where you want to be.The instructions included with by AI V3 Crystal Cube included instructions for a different fan controller than was included. I was able to find the correct instruction manual by searching for the case I bought on the Anidees web site. Important to note is that this manual was a .pdf scanned copy of only half the pages(WTF Anidees?) Luckily, they were the relevant pages. I was not able to get the case fans to sync with Gigabyte RGB Fusion, however, I think this is RGB Fusion's fault as it's a notoriously bad piece of software. The included remote and fan controllers have more than enough options to where I was able to achieve the results I wanted. Helpfully, one remote will work for multiple fan controllers, which is good, because I needed two for the 14 total fans I ended up installing. Another reviewer on here recommended installing washers on the PSU installation side to further space the tempered glass panel from the case to enable better air movement by the PSU fan. I did this and it works to great effect, I highly recommend you do this as the space or lack thereof between the PSU and the case side is a major design flaw here.IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING THE FAN CONTROLLERS - the included fans and the optionally purchased Anidees fans do run off of the same type of external controller, but the newer models that come with the optional fans include controllers that have rectangular housings that will cause the "old" fans included with the case to not have their cables fit in properly, or at all. You can easily take the controller apart and strip these housings out with a pair of nail clippers and some patience. I only had to do this because I fried the first controller by being an idiot and connecting the fans to the motherboard through the included AMD cables rather than the Gigabyte ones. Don't do this unless you enjoy starting fires and filling your house with burnt plastic smell.It's a great case, looks great, has plenty of room for everything, drive bays are great. No room for a CD/DVD drive; if you're still living in 1997 and are building this to play Myst, you're going to have to mount .ISOs or use a USB device like everyone else. I'm sure Circuit City will sell you an excellent Compaq or Gateway that will suit your needs, and you can swing by Blockbuster to return your video rentals while you're at it.Worth noting is that all of Anidees' online sales platforms were out of stock of 80mm fans when I bought this case. They seem to be the only manufacturers of RGB 80mm fans in existence right now. When I contacted their customer service, they restocked their Amazon store the next day - that's pretty good customer service.Buy it! It's great. That's all I got.

Just to clarify at the beginning, this is a review for the AI Crystal Cube AR V3 version of the case since they mix them up amongst the various models.First thing to know is it’s fragile. Normally I have items held at UPS center nearby and pick them since UPS can't get into the apartment building. But the shipper (newegg) required a delivery attempt first. Bah! So, basically it bounced around a truck for a couple days on the heavily pot-holed streets of Pittsburgh. When I was finally able to pick it up it sounded like one of those Australian rain sticks. Refused delivery of obviously shattered case glass and Anidees shipped a replacement immediately.Second time around I went to the UPS and asked the guys there to hold it for pickup manually and they kept it from having a delivery attempt. Minimizing the handling and delivery attempt was key. The replacement wouldn’t have survived all the trauma either. Heck just last year we lost twenty-seven Chilean minors and nineteen Thai soccer players to murky depths of this city’s potholes.On to the assembly….If you get the one with the front fan bracket in place then it will arrive with them all connected and secured in the back along with the connections to the Anidees control box. Instructions were a little lacking but for the most part everything is self-explanatory. There are a couple of watch-outs though.This is my first RGB type build so one item to look out for is the connections on your motherboard to sync it all. The lights for this case will sync via software and in my system this would be the Asus Aura. But setup from the anidees control box to the motherboard requires a three-pin addressable 5V connector. My motherboard (ASUS x470 Prime) only has a four-pin non-addressable 12V connector. Didn’t realize there were multiple specifications so that’s on me. Check your board to be sure. But I googled and did find Deepcool makes a converter. You can plug the Anidees controller into the converter then run from converter to motherboard. This will allow syncing of all lights -> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QPYSC82/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1One more note on the RGB. The fans and LED strip included are all addressable so when using the remote and not syncing will show individual lights in each fan/strip can change. When synced with software of non-addressable 12V connection all the lights on the fans changed at the same time. You get less vivid results but at least you can turn it all on/off with one-click if needed. There are a ton of addressable effects you can cycle through with the remote guessing 100 or so.Another note is the location of the power supply can result in it being isolated from getting enough cool air from the front fans. It is set vertically and because the side is solid tempered glass the fan is only getting the space between it and the panel to draw in air. Combined with sold glass on the front there is only some space on the sides for incoming air. There is a front mesh panel option which can be purchased and swapped without too much issue. You may not have to do this depending on your system setup.Altogether, definitely a stunning lightshow with some lookouts related to cooling and RGB setup. The split cube really helps keeps all the cables on one side and you can show off all the RGB RAM/motherboard/processor options. A previous case with side fan and small window of plexiglass wasn’t nearly as stunning. This one really shows everything off. Anidees was super helpful along the way with quick replies to messages and replacing the broken one instantly. They weren’t aware of the Deepcool converter but seeing as there are lots of motherboards out there with only the 12V connector probably will get more questions about syncing.In the end I’m satisfied with the purchase and so is the Lightning guy from Big Trouble in Little China! (see photos) :)

The case looks nice and there is a lot of room to work with, but, I bought the version with the glass front panel and it destroys your airflow. I had to remove the whole thing until I can get a heat gun to pull the glass panel off of it. It might've been alright with the glass front panel if the fans that came with the case could pull more air, but the amount of air they move seems quite poor.One of the 5 fans included with my case wouldn't turn on after getting everything set up. I tried switching that fan to a different port on the fan hub but it still didn't spin, so I contacted Anidees and they're sending me a 3 pack of fans as a replacement. For that I can give 4 stars, just know that airflow is poor when using the glass front panel with this case as it is sold.

I have used this case for a couple of years now and it has been great so far. The only problem I am having is that one of the fans is starting to go bad (which is typical with any fan from normal use) and the power button doesn’t turn on the pc sometimes when pressed. I can usually get it to turn on with about 10-20 presses. Other than that, the case is beautiful and unique. It is super easy to build in, and easy to manage cables. Is has a large opening in the back to store and run your wires. The air flow is great and keeps everything cool. The rgb is fantastic. The fans are excellent paired with the included fan hub with 2 led strips.
