Ultra Gladiator Black ATX Mid-Tower Case with Clear Side Front USB FireWire and Audio Ports

Comment:
Front side USBs do not register as 2.0 Side vent not positioned correctly (off center buy about 1/2 inch of cpu fan). Other than that, this case is good quality. Well built. Wish it came with fans though.

One corner of the plexiglass what broken but small enough not to inhibit the use of it. One of the plastic pop-rivits was loose that holds the plexiglass in. Other than those 2 things, everything else seems fine.

Cons: Clamps for the PCI slots are a little loose, but it gets the job done. Top / Front USB is too far away to be connected for my MoBo. Pros: Very solid case. Keeps things cool. It looks nice; of course. Everything fits in well. The price is awesome too. I would buy another.

Several Things - Tool-less is not Tool-less. This case is a good strong case and has some good looking features yet I found several issues. The drive 'chamber' that holds 3.5'' drives with plastic holders. Most of these didn't work for me and I had to cut and adjust so much to fit my 2 Sata Drives I finally gave up and moved them to swappable bays in the 5.25'' section. Also if you have a long board the cables from the top USB barely stretch to the bottom of the case - you will need some sort of adapters.

The case is a decent size and looks very nice. The corners of the plexi-glass were all broken. Some of the little black plastic bolts were broken. The screwless pci clamps would have been amazing if they were big enough to actually hold the cards in place. The wires from the front usb, firewire and headphone/mic jacks are just barely long enough to reach the slots on my motherboard (EVGA 780i) they need at least another 4'' to make them right. No fans are included, which really sucks. I should have held out for my first choice, but it was on sale.

Excellent case. Great quality and looks great!

I like this very much. I had plenty off room in there and I love the solid front doors mainly because I have kids. I do like the black aluminus better. Buy it you wont be disapointed.

I bought this case for my parents new PC build. They were way overdue for a new PC! The front door is SOLID ALUMINUM. Best sounding clank when you shut it. Everything slid right where it needs to go. Added an additional Ultra 120mm fan to the front i believe. It just clipped right in! No vibration. Amazingly quiet operation. If only the inside was powder coated black... EVGA 650i with C2D 8400 with an EVGA 8400GS, Golden Orb cooler, 2GB Corsair DDR2 and 2 250GB Seagate SATA II drives RAID-1. XP Home SP2 OEM. This case made my parents very happy.

AMAZING CASE!!! is all I can say. I'm so happy. It's so sturdy and sleek!

Pros: Front and rear internal fan cages are a good idea. I like the placement of the external 3.5'' drive bay. Nice looking case with efficiently place side air ducts. Cons: this case is a nightmare to work in because if its size. The sideways-oriented hard drive cage causes problems between the power/SATA cables and the case when removing or replacing the clear side. No airflow from front of case (even if you buy any, because they're NOT included) because of the aesthetic and completely useless cover over the front fan bracket. Next to impossible to remove the hard drive bay after assembly of computer, so be sure to know exactly what you want in the case before building: upgrading anything towards the front of the case is terrible. Overall: This is easily the worst case I have ever worked in. It has a nice look, but the ease of use is not up to par for the price. I'd recommend looking into an NZXT or Thermaltake instead.

Good case, spacious and nicely built. only downside is the plastic side window, I regret taking off the plastic tape that was protecting it :( now there are more scratches than before

Comment:
Good case. Like previous reviewers said, the inside corners of the plexiglass broke, but it is not noticeable from the outside. The Frontpanel cords did barely fit to my 680i (Bought as a kit) and with my 8800GT they really really barely fit. The rails for the bays were a bit confusing at first, no real instructions and I ended up trying to put the Harddrive in with the DVDdrive rails. It was my first build and it was no big problem at all. Good case!

Comment:
This case is pretty good. I'm not gonna lie. My only complaints are that it never came with a 120mm fan as it shows in the specs. above, the firewire cable to connect for the port on top of the case is a little too short and the Plexiglas on the side of the case had some cracks in the corners, but the cracks aren't visible on the outside. Other than that it's a really good bang to buck ratio.

Comment:
The fit is inconsistant. I had trouble alligning both the MB mounts and the HD enclosure. Fairly good for the price, but it takes a bit of extra work getting all the screws and their corrisponding mounting hole lined up. Some threads were stripped out as well.

Comment:
This case is great! The paint is think and looks good. Very strong and and well built. The only thing that sucks is if your running sata drives you will have to get cables with a 90* angle otherwise you will be hitting the side panel. Another thing is be careful the first few time you take off the side panel. i cracked the Plexiglases in two corners, it fits very snug.

Bought this with the XFX 680SLI, E6600 C2Duo 2.4, corsair twinx@048 ram, Ultra 600 watt PS and an evga 8800GT. Great case, excellent features, only gripes is that the hd holders make the cables tight against the plastic side. Also the Ultra PS i bought would't fit the case very well, had to bend and modify a bit but it's all in. Great deal for the price, a sturdy and well laid out case for building your own PC. Thanks Tiger Direct!

This case is premo!!!! best iv'e ever seen and i have been building 100's of pc's a year. Better buy it if you have second thoughts about the hdd position with a little drilling of 2 holes (be careful) i mounted most hdd's facing side-ways and it is very easy. will keep buying for my builds and refering this case to my customers.

Cheap, well made case. Nice finish. Great for the cost and features. One complaint: Ultra X2 750W PS did not fit without bending the case a little on the PS bracket. Will work, but had to modify. Multiple hard drives could be too close together. However, easy to use and install components. Correction to MrQ: If the case is facing you, it will open away from you towards the LEFT.

This is an update on this case I got 4 months ago. Since then I have installed an ASUS P5N-E SLI Mobo, a Intel Q6600 quad core, and a nvidia 8800 GTS gpu. I have some small gripes. 1. there are only 2 120mm fan placements (I mounted an additional 92mm fan onto the back of case for better cooling)2. I don't like the way the hard drive case is setup. I would have prefered it going toward the back instead of the side. 3. The door panel hinge cannot be moved to the other side. So unless its on your right side you are always going to have to be reaching around the door. The good is its an incredibly durible, strong, and roomy case (my gts fit in there no prob). I would get again.

I think this a great looking case that is easy to use. I just built my first computer using this case and this case made it easy for me. Runs cool with plenty of air flow and room for everything.

Comment:
This is a very solid case, it looks great and its screwless system saves some time. the PCI screwless instalation is frustrating at first,but you eventually get the hang of it.Great case, would buy again.

Comment:
Nice looking, well built case. Mine did not come with any fans, even though it says it has 1. Well packed for shipping. Fits a Tower CPU cooler with removal of the CPU duct, and replace the screws with machine screws and nuts. Tooless design works well. Front panel cables (audio and USB/firewire) are a little short for a 680i motherboard, but do reach.

Great looking case. Nice setup. The no tool feature is very nice. I installed 2 120 fans in the ports( also no tools needed) and the case is quiet.
