Quality, Style, and Performance
"When looking for subtle styling, durable quality and unparalleled ease of use, look no further than the Ultra X-Blaster. The X-Blaster supports AT, baby AT, ATX and micro ATX motherboards and features 1mm thick high grade steel. The X-Blaster has 10 drive bays. Four tool-free 5.25" drive bays, one external 3.5" bay and five internal 3.5" bays. PCI and AGP cards can be installed and secured to their slots without tools. Components can be kept cool by installing a pair of 120MM fans to the front and rear fan mounts. X-Blaster even includes an Intel TAC compliant CPU duct and VGA vent."

Specifications:

For this review we will be looking at the black X-Blaster with no PSU or side window, product number ULT33178.


Package:

I was happy to see that the case arrived in very good condition from UPS. The box it self is what you would expect for a computer case with full color pictures of the case it self and descriptions of some of the features the case has to offer. Upon opening up the box (Like a little kid on Christmas morning) I found the case nice and snug, wrapped in a plastic bag and secured in the box with foam. Did I say "secure", it was in there good too, after attempting to take it out by lifting the case out of the box, and failing miserably I might add, I tipped the box upside down and it finally slid out just fine.
