Value & Conclusion

  • The Raidmax Hyperion sells for under 60 euro including taxes.
  • Excellent price/performance ratio
  • Tiny for a mATX chassis
  • Liquid-cooling support thanks to the bracket and placement possibilities in front
  • Three fans included
  • Excellent cable-management possibilities
  • Can hold 120 mm tower coolers of up to 155 mm in size
  • GPUs of up to 325 mm will easily fit
  • Fully sized ATX PSU with around 165 mm or less will fit
  • Can hold up to five storage drives
  • Dust filters on all intake areas
  • Easily removable sides, front, and top
  • Easy assembly for a chassis of this size
  • Available in four colors
  • Fans are not well placed (out of the box)
  • Liquid cooling in front would block 5.25" bay and limit GPU length
  • Long PSUs will force you to remove the HDD cage
  • HDDs in cage have a bit of play and cannot be secured any further
Plenty of cube cases out there offer Mini-ITX compatibility in combination with fully sized components. Take mATX, however, and the number of such cases shrinks considerably. Of those, the Raidmax Hyperion is actually one of the smaller units out there even though its feature set is pretty interesting.

Right out of the box, it comes equipped with three fans, offers the ability to install numerous hard drives, and incorporates a plate just for liquid cooling, while also making the most of its internal space. All while giving the user the choice of installing a 5.25" optical drive bay.

Installation bears no surprises, but it does feel a bit like playing chess. Only think ahead one step at a time and you will inevitably find it frustrating, but go through all the steps beforehand and you will come out victorious even if you fill the Raidmax Hyperion to the rim with pretty potent hardware while making the most of its cooling capabilities, and considering it comes in four different colors and at a very competitive price point of 60 euro, it is hard not to love this compact chassis.
