Guest Blooz1 Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Ultra has an aluminum case on the market that's a "dead ringer" looks-wise for the "classic" Chieftecs, called the "Aluminus". It's got some nice features - 2x120MM fans with decent looking airflow, removable MB tray, and "easy-access" HD bays ala the Antec 3700. Here's a "side by side" comparison done by Bill Owen (aka MNPCtech) http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee/fo.../m/638009067731 Worth a look - especially after he gets out the Dremel! (I noticed that although it's got a huge side window, they've got an "air duct" on it, along with a big mesh area over the graphics card area.)

Angry_Games Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 However, the Ultra has one glaring annoyance.Whomever designed the bezel, goofed up! You can't install optical bay devices like a fan controller because the vents won't allow the door to close. Chieftec would have never overlooked such a stupid mistake. tsk tsk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
