ProLab Design AI838 Mid Tower Workstation Case

The ProLab DESIGN AI838 is a mid-tower workstation case engineered for builders who demand exceptional storage capacity, broad motherboard compatibility, and sustained thermal performance. Its mesh front panel channels a steady flow of fresh air through six ventilation points — front, top, sides, and bottom — keeping internal components, including multiple storage drives, operating at stable temperatures during demanding workloads. The AI838 accommodates the widest range of motherboard form factors in its class, supporting CEB, ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX boards, making it equally suited to compact office builds and multi-card professional workstations. With GPU clearance rated at 290 mm and CPU cooler height clearance of 160 mm, the case accepts a broad selection of discrete graphics cards and tower air coolers without modification. Storage versatility is a defining strength of the AI838. The chassis provides bays for up to 10 x 3.5-inch hard drives and up to 10 x 2.5-inch SSDs, totalling 20 drive positions — far beyond what most mid-tower enclosures offer. Five optical drive bays are also present, catering to legacy media needs in professional and archival environments. Seven expansion slots support multi-GPU or multi-card configurations, while support for 120 mm and 240 mm radiators gives builders the option to integrate an all-in-one liquid cooler at the front or top of the chassis. The power supply sits beneath the motherboard in a dedicated compartment, promoting organised cable routing, improved airflow separation, and easier access during maintenance. Up to six fans can be installed across the chassis. The AI838 carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty. — Verified Specifications — • Form Factor: Mid Tower • Supported Motherboards: CEB, ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX • Max GPU Length: 290 mm • Max CPU Cooler Height: 160 mm • Max 3.5" HDD Bays: 10 • Max 2.5" SSD Bays: 10 • Optical Drive Bays: 5 (per source description) • Expansion Slots: 7 • Max Fan Support: 6 • Radiator Support: 120 mm, 240 mm (front and top) • Warranty: 1 Year
