Review on Unleash Your Gaming Potential With Anidees AI Raider XL Full-Tower Tempered Glass Gaming Case - Complete PC Case ONLY by Lenny Sullivan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

one panel came pre scratched, sigh. OTHER THAN THAT great case.

SO. I bought it to build a real beast of a machine and wanted all the space inside to let heat dissipate.My Build:ROG Zenith II Extreme Alpha1500W Titanium Thermaltake PSUPNY 30901 Gen 4 4TB Boot Drive2x 8TB Gen 3 drives9 Noctua INDUSTRIAL Grade Fans (8x 120mm and 1x 140mm @ 3000RPM)Noctua CPU Cooler2x 128GB 3200MHz HyperX RAMAMD ThreadRipper 3990xPros:-Great packing job, but we'll complain about it later also. It's packed well using plastic foam encompassing the case on all four sides with at least a three inch foam wall on each side as well.-VERY thoughtful. THis thing has nothing but options. Whatever you want to do in this case, it can handle it Turn it into a silly 16 3.5in drive NAS with 3 2.5 sleds on the back would turn this into an amazing NAS case.-Another area where it was thoughtful, PSU shroud, it's removable, which was nice since my PSU wasn't going in from the side-Seems like it came with spares as well, like there's a decent sized box with a crap ton of extra screws and sleds.-Static Cling Warning Sticker. HOLY CRAP IS THAT GENIUS. I was dreading removing that, at first I thought it was going to be an annoying laminated paper sticker, then was praying for a plastic sticker, then when I got my thumbnail under it, I realised it was static cling. SERIOUSLY. GENIUS. Way to justify your price tag.-Front Power connectors are well labeled and with their polarity clearly printed on it. Supposedly some cases don't even bother with that.-Airflow. I'm not noticing any issue with it. I live in the south, have a big house, four AC units, so I keep most off, even the ones upstairs since the master is on the first floor, and the podcast room is on the second where the AC usually stays off and takes a good hour to cool that room. MEANING that beast of a machine should get hot, but under load, it hits 50C at most proving that Airflow isn't an issue.-Cable holes and tie points EVERYWHERE, well at least logically and aesthetically. Was really worried about wire management. This made it super easy to do so. Especially for someone like me that only built one computer before this, 20 years ago.-The Front bus cable are considerately long, not obnoxiously long, but more than long enough to reach any and all ports while also being considerate to cable managing them.Cons:-Packing, this is a minor one, but still a con. You have to turn the box upside down to get the PC Case out.-Screws, so many screws. Just removing the PSU shroud/basement there was something like 20 screws-Rear IO port was a little small for my Zenith II Extreme which was messing up with my screw hole alignment. Would have been nice to remove that material to widen that hole. From the Inside, it nearly gives off the illusion that it is removable, like they thought about crazy enthusiast boards like mine. BUT upon further inspection it's not easily made apparent how you'd go about doing that.-Vent Meshing while nice and magnetic, isn't fine enough, the holes are kind of big.-One glass panel came scratched with a 2.5 in curved scratch near the corner on the side opposite of the warning sticker. Had to happen while shipping given that it was inside.-The Grommet/rubber hole coverings were impossible to keep on, so I did away with it. My PC isn't a "SHOW" piece, so having that giant hole open that I only put my dual power connector for my graphics card it's not terrible.Conclusion:Buy it, great big case with big possibilities
