Abstract: Video Review: The Ultra Aluminus ATX Mid-Tower Case is a familiar design and is used by many companies. This case though is made from lightweight aluminum and has a high gloss black paint finish. It's an excellent choice for modding or LAN parties. Air circulation is great, but two optional 120mm fans are required. There are plenty of drive bays and it even has a removable motherboard tray. This product has looks and functionality to boot. Watch the Video to find out more...

Overall I do like the design the ULTRA Aluminus case has. There is more than enough room on the inside to add more components and its really light so taking this case with you to a LAN party or DJing a dance might not be an injury waiting to happen...

Abstract: The Aluminus is one of the lightest cases we’ve ever lifted—honestly, it’s like holding an empty beer can. The case is large and spacious, so parts installation is easy. We just screwed our motherboard to the tray and then secured the tray to our case ...

Not screwless drive installation, Installation of 3.5 inch external drives quite flimsy, Plastic front does not do this case justice, Plastic is not made of silver material, but is spay painted green plastic, Front I/O made completely out of plastic as we...
The Ultra Aluminus Case may look a lot like a Chieftech case, but it has not much in common with it. The interior is very well though out with a great cooling setup, lots of space and easy cable management possibilities. The case looks fabulous with it...
Abstract: One of the things I love to review the most are cases. Even if what is on the inside isnt new, it always seems like you have a new computer because of the case. I personally have reviewed 10 cases over the years, and have had even more, and my all ti...
Its very obvious to see that Ultra have done an excellent job with their Aluminus case. Its a bigger than normal mid-tower case with plenty of room inside to work, it looks great with its glossy finish and has huge modding potential which mostly th...
With its amazing features, amazing looks, and its sturdy construction, there's little not to love about the Aluminus case, that is, up until you hit the price tag as it is a bit pricey at $140.00 and that can be a determent to those on a budget. The ca...

Ultra Products has come up with another fine product. The Aluminus lived up to all my expectations and actually did better in cooling than I thought it would. Plus, the finish is equal to that of cases costing much more.Using PriceGrabber I was able to...
