Gizmo · 19-September-07, 08:21 AM

Dex has a new review up of Hipers first attempt in the ATX case market, the stylish Anubis, looks like they're off to a great start!

Check it out here.

Exellent review Dex! well executed and a joy to read.
This is a case I would certainly consider purchaising in the near future!
Well done Hiper

+rep to Dex.

Great review Dex.

Seems like they do just as good a job on their cases as they do their PSU's.

I wish thick aluminum cases weren't so expensive. That is some superior build quality.

Now to find a local dealer of AL sheets...

Nice review Dex, I felt like I was reading a real book, the adjectives are great!

Thanks guys, not sure I was aiming to write a book but that can't be bad

"Like nice French underwear" We all know what you were thinking of whilst writing this review

Nicely done

Maybe it was an erotica book...

It was very detailed and explained out very well. I liked the way it was written, seems Arc angel did too...

Anyhow, nice review again Dex..

That was a very colourful review

as was mentioned before, great use of adjectives.

My only question is this: why an 8.5? The way you were gushing about the case I'm surprised you didn't give it a 10!

Dex · 25-September-07, 04:06 PM

Hey, nothings perfect. I did outline a few things in the review that could do with improving. Plus its just a case, they didnt reinvent the wheel. Id be chuffed with an 8.5!

Plus, it gets them working harder on more cases

This case appears to be a variant of the Atlantis "Solid welded aluminum chassis" model by Sigma. (Hiper designs equipment, but manufacture is done by others; the Hiper power supplies are made by Andyson--see matbe.com review of 105 power supplies) About the design of the Anubis: I can just imagine the product design guys arguing: We're not going to put a solid alu heat sink on the top and then cut a hole in it for a fan! That's the whole point of the heat sink! Yeah, but if we don't cut a hole for a top fan the reviewers will only give us an 8.5! I added a full top heat sink to one of my cases last year--looks neat but hard to clean.

Yeah it does look pretty similar, apart from the drive mountings inside. Oh and welcome to Apex
