Anubis is the name of the ancient Egyptian God of Death and the name of the 1st ATX case ever from HIPER. As expected, HIPER does not come up with something usual: This case is entirely constructed out of high quality 3mm thick aluminium 6063 T5 alloy, weighing in at over 10kg. What makes this case different to the other alloy cases is in the manufacturing process of the jointing method. The panels are alloy welded together creating a much stronger structure to withstand over 100kg compared to the cheaper rivetting method, where not only becomes a weaker point, but allows the entire structure to bend. The case comes pre-modded with a side window and is probably the only case with a window to pass EMI testing, so is perfect for any system builders.

This case has been designed with thermal issues in mind and the HUGE heatsinks on top of the case help dissipate the conducted heat from inside the case. HIPER even supplies a brush for cleaning dusts out of them!

The sidepanels assembling is completely screwless and the drive-bay mounting is also tool-free. A stylish top function panel gives you comfortable usage. And even the most design oriented user will be convinced by the quality of the diamond laser cut trimming.

An additional functional detail among others is the removable modular HDD rack with dedicated fan mount for optimized cooling.

As a bonus for the end user who eventually owns this case, there is a limited edition Anubis keyring supplied inside.

Anubis is both a cutting edge design and top-quality pc chassis for design enthusiasts and gamers.

Recommended retail price is about US$ 220 excl. vat.

It has some good features especially for the first case Hiper has released.

I'm not totally sure the design is to my taste, but others may well disagree.

As for the aluminium fins that I can only assume act like heatsinks, is there an actual purpose to these? The front panel fins won't be dissipating that much heat as there's solid blanking panels behind it, and I'm guessing the same is true to the ones on the top panel.

Either way it's got some great features that I find exciting (welded construction, tasteful looking side panel), so I'll be hoping to read a full review in the near future :D
 
Woah. This isn't bad at all for a 1st effort. I like the strength of this beast...
