Overall, Ultra has come up with a very nice enclosure. The heavier aluminum used in the construction, the impressive feature list and the attention to detail with the interior paint and reflective motherboard tray and back panel shows that these fol...
There are many good things to like about this enthusiast-level case, but there are also some glaring flaws. The m998s features make installation rather easy. There is tons of room inside, allowing for large and complex watercooling equipment (or tho...
Pain, free installation using removable motherboard tray, Great looking exterior with nice black glossy finish, Clear side panels with 2 exhaust openings, Good ventilation with two 120mm fans included
Big case with an above average price tag, Power bar could use additional connectors for SATA and 3, pin fans
The Ultra m998 computer case is, simply put, a fantastic case that puts new life in the tired ATX case marketplace. This case is loaded with features such as removable trays/panels and the power bar. Installation and swapping of components is very smoo...

Abstract: Last week I received an Ultra Products m998 Mid-Tower ATX Case for review. I love new PC cases, and have never used one from Ultra before, so I was excited to test it out. Before getting into the review, I’d like to mention that I am almost obsessiv...
Abstract: When youre looking for bragging rights, Ultra really kicks out some high end products. Now this really isnt the typical way that I start my reviews but really Ive been nothing but impressed so far. Today Ill be reviewing the m998 mid-tower ATX Cas...
Abstract: ULTRA produces a wide range of products from case to power supply. I was surprised to see the company's headquarters is not located far from where I live. In fact they are about 10 minutes from where my wife lived for most of her childhood. When I brow...
Large with lots of room, Has wheels for easy movement, Good airflow/cooling, Very well made, Fairly easy to use, Can replace front I/O ports with any type of PCI slot accessory, Top comes off for easy PSU installation, Removable mobo tray and HDD cage, Th...
Power bar is kinda useless, Power bar gets in way of mobo with side mounted ports, Larger CPU coolers will not fit with mobo tray out, USB ports are tight, fat USB drives wont fit together or use right port close to door, Price
The Ultra M998 has become my new personal favorite case, my main system is now housed inside of it and will remain there for some time to come. The M998 is a tough, well-built case that really does take after its namesake the M998, or more commonly k...
Abstract: Computers are doing so many different jobs these days that the "one size fits all" mentality just doenst cut it anymore. Someone looking for a clean and quiet enclosure to fit in with the rest of their home entertainment gear wouldnt be looking for a...
Well thought out design, Power Bar power distribution, Removable motherboard tray, Optional casters, Cable management, Classic styling, Adequate cooling, Very spacious for a MidTower, Accepts extended VGA cards.
Drive bays are not toolless, Limited usability of the power bar depending on the PSU you have.
The Ultra Products M998 Mid-Tower ATX Case offers a lot of great features that consumers are looking for. The M998 has a simple yet stylish look to it with its black on black color choice. The M998s chassis is mainly built of high grade aluminum...
Materials and build quality are good, Clean styling with beautiful black anodized finish, Removable top panel (along with both side panels), Convenient front panel layout, controls and I/O panel, 11 Drive bays: (4) 5.25 ext, (2) 3.5” ext. and (5) 3...
No vibration isolation mounts on any drive bays, General lack of toolless mounting features, Very weak User’s Manual
My experience with the Ultra m998 mid-tower ATX enclosure was both positive and enjoyable. I will seriously consider this case for a future system build. The overall construction and build quality is good and the simple lines and black anodized fin...
