Hiper Osiris Aluminum ATX Case Review

Value & Conclusion »

Assembly


Assembly is pretty straight forward. Hiper has chosen to steer clear of any fancy "tool-free" installation methods and has supplied an ample number of thumb screws instead. The mainboard is mounted on traditional spacers. As you can see there is still plenty of space after the board has been secured within the Osiris. Large graphic cards should easily fit within the case.


Any hard drives are secured by black screws in the hard drive cage. There are cut outs for every possible mounting location of the drive, but only using four of the six possible locations is more than enough. Once you have installed the drives, simply slide the case back into the Osiris and secure it with the included screws.


Installing an optical drive is done through the front of the case as well. If you want to use the metal ODD cover, you will have to line it up properly so that the external eject button reaches the ODD button. All this is no problem at all and you may also decide not to go with these, giving way to the drive bezel instead. The power supply is installed with the cooling fan downward. There is so much space, that any large PSU should fit easily.


Once all the parts have been secured, you can see the large free area around the CPU socket. Every CPU cooler, no matter how big, should fit within the Osiris.

Finished Looks


There you have it, everything connected and closed back up. The drive bay covers look great and give you the ability to use cheaper, beige drives without destroying the overall look of the Osiris.


The power LED lights up blue on top, right next to the power and reset button. They say "blue is the new green" when it comes to power LEDs of a case and it looks great here as well. The part can be seen through the side window of the case. If you were to add some lighting, these will become clearly visible, while the light will not disturb as much, due to the mesh on top of the side window.
