Introduction
I would like to thank
anidees for supplying the review sample.
The anidees AI7m offers full mATX compatibility in a cube chassis, while retaining the ability to equip your system with a large CPU cooler. Having reviewed anidees cases in the past, it will be interesting to see what the new line of enclosure brings to the table. Those interested in the AI7m can go for a solid or windowed version and pick between a black or white paint job. While we will look at the AI7m in today's review, there is also the AI7 with ATX support in a similarly sized chassis.

Packaging
anidees ships the AI7m in a black box with the model name on both larger panel. You will find a table with specifications on one side, while the other comes with a sticker to let you know which variant is inside the box.
Two thick Styrofoam spacers protect the AI7m from damage during transport, while a plastic bag keeps fingerprints and light scratches away.
