Enermax Ostrog Giant Case Review

Inside the Enermax Ostrog Giant

Both panels are attached to the chassis using black thumbscrews. The motherboard tray has a huge cutout for you to access the backplate of the CPU coolers without having to remove the motherboard from the case, a few holes for you to route cables behind it, and several clips for you to fasten cables using cable ties.

In Figure 12, we get another overall look inside the case. Expansion cards are fastened using regular screws, but at least they are black. The Enermax Ostrog Giant supports video cards up to 11” (280 mm) long on its default configuration. If you install a 120 mm fan on the top hard drive cage, this clearance is reduced to 10” (255 mm). By removing the top hard drive cage, you can fit video cards up to 16.1” (410 mm) long.

The case supports the installation of one 120 mm fan at each of the hard drive cages. See Figure 13.

The power supply is installed at the bottom of the case. It can be installed with either its bottom fan facing up or facing down, so you can decide if you want the fan of your power supply pulling air from inside the case or from outside of it. As shown before, there is an air
filter for the power supply fan.

On its default configuration, the Enermax Ostrog Giant comes with a cage for 2.5” hard drives and SSDs installed on the bottom panel. With this device in place, you can install power supplies up to 7.9” (200 mm) deep. This cage can be easily removed, as it is attached to the chassis using four thumbscrews. Without it, you can install power supplies up to 11.8” (300 mm) deep or can install a 120 mm fan on the bottom panel. With this optional fan installed, you can have power supplies up to 6.7” (170 mm) deep. As already shown, there is an air filter for this optional fan.
