Hiper Osiris Mid-Tower Case Review

Interior Impressions cont.

In the last section we told you that the front panel of the Osiris can be easily removed but at the same time it is securely fastened in place so it doesn’t pop off of its own accord. To do this Hiper installed four slightly beveled inserts which slide into the aluminum skeleton of the case and then slightly open to lock it in place. It is a brilliant system that eliminates any headaches that may come to the forefront when you need to install drives.

On this front panel there is a pair of spring-loaded drive doors which slide open when you press the pre-installed eject button on the front. If you don’t want to use these drive doors, you can get rid of them by simply removing the four corner screws.


The eject button on the front of these drive covers is not particularly long and we had some issues with it not touching the eject button on one Samsung and one Pioneer drive we tested in the Osiris. However, this is not to say that issues will present themselves to everyone using the Osiris since an ASUS DVD drive worked without a problem as did a BenQ model. We would have liked to have seen this button have a rubber stopper on the end in order to give a bit of a buffer zone in case your drive’s eject button isn’t as long as Hiper hopes it is.

All of the other drive bay covers are held in place via a pair of screws. Hiper would rather you use the top two bays with their drive-doors (which can of course be moved) but if you have a fan controller, you will want to use one of these bays instead.


The hard drive cage has a front-mounted 120mm intake fan and can easily be removed once the front panel is taken off. It is an extremely impressive and high-quality piece of engineering that has rubber rails built into its aluminum frame to absorb any vibrations from the hard drives.


The final stop we have is the single removable 3.5” drive bay. You have the option of using this or completely removing it if you need the extra space. Having a little-used drive cage in this format is perfect for those of you who never use their 3.5” bays and have always wished for a quick and easy way of removing them.
