Noble design thanks to high-quality processing & hard-glass elements

Toned hard glass is the latest craze, which is why anidees now presents a particularly noble black midi tower called AI-Crystal Lite. The compact housing is mainly made of sturdy and very well-treated steel, so it immediately gives a high-quality impression. This steel construction is supplemented by two side walls and a front of 5 mm thick tinted hard glass, which makes it possible to optimally look at the installed hardware from almost any angle. The AI-Crystallite also has a matte black color on the outside, as well as on the inside, which is particularly suited to its classy image.

Excellent cooling possibilities for air or water

The special thing about the anidees AI-Crystal Lite is that it comes without pre-installed fans. Thus, a total of seven fan mounting pads are available, which the user can equip with any fans or, in the case of water cooling, of course with radiators. Three slots are located behind the hard-glass front, which has side air intakes. The theoretically generated airflow would cool the installed hardware in this way optimally and by another fan at the back again blown out of the housing. For an even better airflow, two additional 120/140 mm fans can be installed in the cover, which dissipate any waste heat from the housing. For the choice between whisper-quiet operation or the highest possible cooling performance, anidees also supplies the AI-Crystal Lite with a fan hub to which a total of six fans can be connected. By means of integrated fan control on the I / O panel, all housing fans can be regulated in three different stages, which then ensure the appropriate cooling performance, depending on the requirements.

Of course, the AI-Crystal Lite also offers extensive possibilities for proper water cooling. The cover can be fitted with a 240, 280 or 360 radiator with a maximum thickness of 60 mm with mounted fans. Behind the front also fits a radiator of this size, but with fans it can be up to 63 mm thick. The back can also accommodate another 120 or 140 radiator. Depending on the installed mainboard, of course, there is more or less space for custom water cooling, so you should be clear about the cooling concept before buying the housing.

Pre-installed dust filters in the front, in the lid and under the power supply also ensure minimal contamination of the installed hardware inside the housing. For a better care these filters can be removed and cleaned easily.
Connectivity & other features

In addition to the already mentioned useful features such as fan hub, fan control, dust filter, seven expansion slots and graphics card holder, the AI-Crystal Lite offers a modern I / O panel at the front of the lid. It is equipped with two USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 ports, a headset and microphone port as well as a 3-stage fan control. In addition, the power and reset button is located here, of which the power button has a noble lighting.
