Enermax Ostrog Mid-Tower PC Chassis Review

The entire build process took me just under half an hour. As you can see I have removed the rear 120mm fan and installed our Antec 920 water cooler in its place, which now acts as the rear exhaust fan. Cable management doesn’t look fantastic but in terms of airflow the front main parts of the chassis are unobstructed and all the cables are well out of the way. I think having a modular power supply helped a lot with this as there are no excess cables to worry about, had it not been modular it would have been more of a challenge getting the rear panel back on the chassis.

The system didn’t natively support our SSD in the bottom hard drive cages, but thanks to the handy adaptor bracket that comes with the Kingston HyperX 3k SSD, this wasn’t an issue for long and it now sits nicely in the quick release drive rails.

The Antec 920 Kuhler fits in there too, but only just with 2mm of clearance from the side panel and 15mm between the heatsink and cooling fans, which is more than enough either way, though this is a big cooler and it fits without any issues.

With the side panel back in place you can just about see our GTX 560 Ti shining through the side ventilation area, but this isn’t really a chassis for showing off your components and you likely wouldn’t see a thing if you installed two side panel fans.

Around the back everything still looks neat and tidy, and you can see the rear of the Antec Kuhler fan in place of the pre-installed 120mm fan. Our GTX 560 Ti has more than enough room to breathe thanks to the plentiful ventilation cut-outs in the rear of the chassis and our Antec 620M PSU being inverse mounted to take advantage of the air intake area in the base of the chassis is welcomed.
