Hiper Osiris

Zitat

Despite its poor noise levels though, the Osiris has one serious trump card and that's its price. At a penny under £80, the Osiris is a clear £45 cheaper than the Akasa Omega, and £40 less than the similarly performing Zalman GS1000. However, it's still up against our perennial favourite, the Antec P182, which is available for just a few quid more.

However, the Osiris does deliver superior CPU cooling to the P182, as well as a much more individual look and that gorgeous brushed alloy exterior, all for a lot less than many recent cases have weighed in at. For those looking for a PC case below the £100 mark, we'd still point you towards the Antec first, but the Hiper Osiris holds its own at this very competitive price point considering its high standard of build quality and thermal performance.

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.
