Exterior

The case is made from black coated brushed aluminium, which helps prevent smudges and gives a nice metal effect. The front of the Case is a plastic panel with holes for the small I/O access and the power and reset buttons. The front grill is quite covered however there is a large opening on the bottom section of the front panel to allow air flow through. The side panel has quite a large plexiglass window and two grills.


The side panels of the case are screwed in by thumb screws and clip in at the front for a strong lock. The bonus on this case is that the top panel is removable via a single thumb screw and clips in like the side panels.


The front IO connectors are concealed by a small push clip flap which integrates into the right side of the front panel. The USB/eSATA/Firewire/Headphones/Mic connectors are all hidden behind the flap.



The Power and Reset buttons are on the front panel at the top right, which is a common place to put them however these buttons are not like a standard button power buttons they use a small button similar to that of a monitors buttons which is easy to press but not too easy. The LED’s are flush with the area surrounding the groove. For some unknown reason Ultra has decided to place 2 HDD LED’s instead of a single, I could guess this may be because of HDD racks or a secondary HDD output from a PCI(e) card.


A neat accessory that is included with this case is the Castors (or wheels). Whatever you may intend their use for is up to you, but it’s a nice additional feature to add.
