The following case here, I will probably stick an Antec PSU in it. Then throw in the rest of my components. Still looking for a decent GPU though, nothing expensive, I don't game. Do some media work though...

It looks like a knockoff of a thermaltake case. Never heard of the company "Ultra". I'd be skeptical.

Ultra is actually a pretty big name company. They make the X-connect modular PSU that I have. I was considering that same case. It's a popular model but case selection is really a preference thing. You have to consider how much room you need, as well as cooling requirements.


If that one suits you, I would buy it.

What thermaltake case is that? Ultra producees a very good PSU, and the case it does look like is a case by the name of Dragon..not sure who it was made by, but it was discontinued I believe, anyways...the companys Ads are scatterd all through PC World and Maximum PC if you were to look. I was just wondering what the actual model was like in personally preferences.

I have that exact same case, except it is blue and it is made by Cheiftec. Here, just to prove my point...
Opening up the side panel we are greeted by a familiar sight.
The inside of the ULTRA is setup in the standard Chieftech Dragon interior that we've seen for the past couple years. To be completely honest the ULTRA case is basically JUST the Chieftech Dragon with a new paintjob.

Immediately I notice it is almost an exact copy of the Chieftec Dragon case with one difference, the paint.

Knowing that it is the exact same case, I can tell you that it is very nice and it has a lot of feautres. It has great ventilation and installing of your PC components couldn't be easier. My only complains are that it doesn't have a power supply adapter (which you will need) for the normal ATX sized PSUs and it doesn't have a top blow hole for the rising hot air. Your power supply will get hot unless you add your own up top.
later

Antec has great toll free support. One of the better places I've had the pleasure of doing business with. Temp in my house right now is about 85 degrees and I'm reading 29 C .. for case temp and 32 C CPU temp.
No AC just 4 three dollar COOLER MASTER BLUE LED FANS.

Nice removable front filter and fans are in just the right local for HD cooling /Ram /Video /MB

I'd give them 2

ANTEC CASES

Same case as the glossy one I think.

P.S. Their Power Supplys Are Awesome Also .. go Neopower

You'd be better off getting a cheiftec. This is just a knockoff by the Ultra company.

Unfortunately, I learned the hard way, Ultra and cheiftec may look similar, but they don't compare. The Ultra version has no removable drive racks, no snap in fan holders, no removable drive rails, and other drawbacks.

On the other hand, I believe there is a Ultra version of the dragon case made by chieftec which has a glossier paint job than the standard Dragon case.... So is this made by chieftec, or is this made by Ultra?

Hmm, apparently by this link, http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...ftec/index.asp
this case is made by chieftec... Not Ultra.. So it is the chieftec Dragon case..

It's heavy! And BIG.
