Hi all,

We have just published a review of *Hiper's Osiris chassis*. If you

could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated.

*/Despite being decent value and having a wonderful alloy construction,

there are a few faults that drag the Osiris back down to the underworld.

The lack of a removable motherboard tray is certainly one, and while we

admit that only those that frequently change their hardware consistently

benefit from them, the initial build process is always made

significantly easier by their inclusion.

Another is the lack of any extra cooling options, with just the standard

three 120mm fan mounts included, not to mention the poor noise levels of

the included fans. We never expected the Osiris to run silent, but we

still want our cases to be as quiet as possible, and as we've seen

previously, extra fan mounts or inbuilt fan controllers can help make up

for this.

Despite these faults, we still do really like the Osiris. The one

hundred percent alloy construction, removable hard drive cage and

impressive thermal performance are all major plus points, and just by

handling the case you get a feel for the brilliant build quality of the

product. If only it was quieter and had room for a few extra fans and

larger motherboards, the Osiris could have been something really

special. As it stands, this is still a fine case and at this price still

deserves your consideration./

*Cheers guys!
