Meet the Neighborhood Bully

Computer enthusiasts want their computer gear to look tough.  Tough enough to go into your man-cave.  Your case should steal the milk money from wimpy cases, and date their moms.  Your case should look like it was made from the parts of lesser cases to form one uber-case.  Your case should be a badass.

What could possibly be more manly than the Humvee; one of the biggest and baddest of all-terrain vehicles?  Would you be intrigued to learn of a PC case modelled after one of these marvels of mechanical engineering?  Ultra thinks so, and they've created their m998 case to complement your masculinity.

m998 Mid-Tower ATX Case
Named after one of the world’s toughest and most versatile military vehicles, our new m998 ATX Mid-Tower PC case will become your ultimate gaming weapon, as well as a dynamic multimedia chassis that promises years of digital entertainment. Striking a commanding presence with its sleek design and durable 1.5mm aluminum construction, the m998 offers 11 drive bays, along with front eSATA, Firewire, and USB audio ports. Two powerful yet quiet front and rear 120mm fans, plus Ultra’s superior airflow architecture, keep even the most heat-intensive components cool and at optimum performance.

This superb new case also features removable panels for easy, tool-free access, and Ultra’s exclusive Power Bar power distribution system. Component installation and maintenance is a snap, because you can remove all the m988’s panels for simple, tool-free access. And you can replace the front Firewire/audio/microphone/eSATA bracket with virtually any PCI slot-type bracket. Whether you’re a gamer, movie buff, or someone building an extremely powerful system – the m998 is the perfect fit. A rugged and versatile warrior that’s ultra-sophisticated and military tough.
