Hiper Osiris Mid-Tower Case Review

Exterior Impressions

Here we have our first look at the Hiper Osiris and upon first glance it looks like a towering black monolith. Gone are some of the unique design elements which made the Anubis stand out from the crowd since it looks like Hiper was aiming for something a little more mundane this time around. While the design may appeal to a broader range of consumers, it also makes the Osiris look like so many other enclosures on the market. This is a bit of a shame since we were hoping for something a little more interesting. That being said, there are still plenty of features which differentiate this product from the rest of the pack.

Since this point is highly subjective I’ll tread a bit lightly by saying that I happen to like the look of the Osiris since I absolutely hate loud, flashy designs and much prefer the understated elegance this case has. The only thing that feels a bit different this time around is that the Anubis felt like it was built to withstand a nuclear blast but the Osiris is a bit more flimsy and light.


Both side panels of the Osiris have handy latches on them which securely hold them in place and completely eliminate the need for thumb screws. On one side you have an acrylic window which is backed in perforated aluminum and the other side has a plain black façade.


The back of this case gives us the first clue that the Osiris is not laid out like most other enclosures on the market. Rather, it uses a reverse mounting method where the power supply is located on the bottom instead of the top which moves all the other items on the back a bit higher up. There is also the notable absence of a motherboard backplate but this is perfectly fine by us since it is next to impossible to make a universal backplate these days anyways.


As already mentioned, the power supply mounting location is at the bottom of the case and has a number of accurately-placed thumbscrew locations to secure any PSU on the market. Meanwhile, Hiper has also supplied a pair of rubber water cooling tube grommets on the back but as you will see later, as with all mid-tower cases space is at a premium inside the Osiris. Thus, there really isn’t much space to mount your water cooling kit.


Continuing on our tour of the back of the Osiris, we come to the 120mm fan mounting location. This size of exhaust fan has pretty much become the golden standard in the enclosure industry and Hiper has also added mounting holes for 92mm and 80mm fans as well.

There is also a small plaque which identifies your case as being somewhat “unique” in the grand scheme of things. It is a good feeling when you think something is special so this alone may sell may sell more than a few of these cases…even though they are not particularly part of a limited run.
