When we put our hard earned money down for any purchase it is nice when we get what we pay for, much less getting something with all the bells and whistles. So the key word for this review is definitely options. The Aluminus ATX Full-Tower Case seems to have thought of everything that would make building your own computer easier. While also throwing in the practical, and functional components that will make it look like a professional did the work. Before we get down to the nuts and bolts, let's take a look at the basic information that Ultra has on this case.

Package

The Ultra Aluminus arrived via UPS, in an extra large brown box with no visible damage. Struggling to get the box down into my basement work area was not a pretty, or graceful site. Have you ever noticed that even though your pets cannot laugh, they have this certain look that you know if they could laugh now would be the time?

Once I opened the brown box I discovered inside was the manufacturers' box surrounded by styrofoam. From reading the information on the Aluminus box I could see there is a lot of ground to cover in this case review.

 

Contained inside of the box besides the case itself there was the English only manual, a bag 'o screws, product registration card, 10 optical drive rails, two (2) keys and the IO ports.
