Conclusion

This may be Hiper’s first case but with the Anubis, they have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to case manufacturing and design. We have reviewed quite a few cases here on Hardwarecanucks and I am happy to say that the Anubis lies head and shoulders above anything that has passed through our greedy little hands. From the stunning design to the ease of installation to virtually every other aspect you can possibly think of the Anubis is pure enclosure nirvana. I have no doubt that the rolled and welded 6063 T5 alloy skeleton can actually hold its claimed 100kg of bone crushing weight to back up Hiper’s claim that this may be the toughest case on the planet. I can write about why I love this case until I wear my fingers down to the bone but words and pictures just cannot convey how good this case really is.

Finding some negative points is a bit of a chore but there are a few areas which aren’t really faults but rather should be picked as necessary additions to the Anubis. First and foremost is the need for an intake fan; the exclusion of a single (cheap) 120mm intake fan is next to unforgivable considering the price of this case. The only small oddity centers around the odd choice of break-off expansion slot covers that cannot be reinstalled.

Now we come to the subject that causes some people to gasp in awe because they see an almost stratospheric and slightly terrifying $220USD price slapped on the Anubis. For that money you get what I feel is one of the best designed and highest quality cases on the market which also happens to look just so darn sexy. When push comes to shove, I think the main question here is if I would pay the kind of money Hiper is asking for this case. Would I? The answer is a resounding YES. Just please start including some more case fans, will ya Hiper?

With too many qualities to mention and only some trivial faults, the Hiper Anubis gets the Hardwarecanucks Dam Good Award and a huge amount of respect to Hiper for building one hell of a case.
