Conclusions
We didn't formally review the Anubis, but we've looked at Hiper's products before, namely its Type R power supply. After Hiper earned our TR Recommended stamp of approval for the Type R, we had high expectations for the Osiris, and for the most part, it has delivered. The construction could be a little stiffer and the aluminum a little thicker, but the Osiris's fit and finish are executed well. Our test system was easy to install, especially the power supply, but we're a little miffed by the misaligned vibration strips in the hard drive cage. Granted, after it was all put together, I didn't think the hard drive sounds were a serious enough issue to complain about, especially in light of the optical drive really being the only component still generating a significant amount of noise.

A nice pouch of thumbscrews, Velcro cable ties, and power connector accessories is included, too

The little things start to matter more and more in the crowded market that hosts the Osiris, so we're pleased to find little touches like the included zipper pouch chock full of well-labeled accessories. The ability to secure the drives with thumbscrews might seem a little old-fashioned compared to screwless designs like the Cosmos, but no one can deny their simple functionality or steadfastness. We would've liked to see some kind of fan undervolting accessory considering our system did fine with all the case fans running way slower than normal, but the clever side panel latching mechanism, window design, and flexible power supply mounting holes easily make up for this omission.

Overall, the Hiper Osiris looks great, in our book.. but be sure to clean up your cabling better than I did

Ultimately, a case needs to embody the look of the entire computer as you imagine it, and we can see plenty of folks liking what the Osiris offers. This is a more cautious design that will appeal widely to enthusiasts, but it's not too boring, either.

At around $170 online, the Osiris is priced right about where you'd expect a high-end enclosure. In this range, the Osiris has to compete with cases like Antec's venerable P180, which can't easily accommodate the longer video cards and power supply units that fit comfortably into the Osiris. The Osiris also bristles with aluminum, which makes for a lighter system overall. However, it doesn't feature fan filters, speed controls, or sound-insulating panels. Whether the Osiris is the right enclosure for your next system will depend on your priorities and, of course, your aesthetic preferences.
