Pros:

Front accent on the case looks great, 3 included fans (2 LED fans), Side panel window, Easy installation, Lots of room behind the motherboard tray.
More than enough room behind the mainboard tray for cable routing, fan LED switch, decent fan filtering in front, light, lots of fan locations, tool free 3.5" and 5.25" drive bays, came with three fans.

Cons:

CPU power cable cutout makes no sense, 2.5inch hard drive cage could be more versatile
Can't remove the lower 3.5" cage though it would have been very easy to add that functionality, use of the 2.5" cage removes other functionality, unable to easily access the bottom fan filtering for cleaning.

Coming into this review I was actually pretty excited about this case. When I first took it out of the box I really liked the design and had high expectations for the case. After going through the review I still remained impressed, although there were...

While the somewhat thin steel construction of this case doesn't really bring to mind the whole fortress ideal that Enermax was going for when they gave it the name "Ostrog," the fact remains that this is a pretty well designed and built basic case for...

today we take a look at the limited edition release of the wonderful Enermax Ostrog. I've always been a fan of this case so I'm happy to see Enermax haven't given up on it yet. The product originally came to market about a year ago now and what better...

This week I've been taking a look at the Ostrog GT aka the Ostrog Giant, the larger counterpart to one of my favourite budget chassis which we reviewed a few months back, the Enermax Ostrog . I really enjoyed the Ostrog and its definitely one of the...

The Enermax Ostrog Giant is not bad at all for its targeted price range. Although it uses lower-quality plastic parts compared to other mid-tower cases with the same set of features, it costs less, providing a good value for users who are looking for...

Der Enermax Ostrog bietet im Vergleich zu seinem kleinen Bruder ein großes Sichtfenster, mehr Stauraum für Lüfter und Kühlsysteme, eine USB 3.0-Schnittstelle mehr und ein wesentlich hübscheres Outfit. Der Preis hat sich dadurch verdoppelt, ist aber...

Avec son nouveau Ostrog GT, Enermax nous propose un bon produit. La qualité de l'ensemble est de bon aloi, on trouve des filtres partout, des fonctionnalités suffisantes, un châssis efficace et une ventilation adéquate. De plus, ce GT ne manque pas de...

Mit dem Ostrog hat Enermax einen interessanten Spezialtower im Angebot. Er kann viele Komponenten und Kabel aufnehmen, hat jedoch auch Grenzen.So haben zwar viele Festplatten ohne Probleme Platz, jedoch wird es für die Kabel (je nach Mainboard) sehr...
