I just bought a M998 case from Ultra.
Same motherboard tray.
Side vents remind me of TJ09.
Let's see what the price will be.

Could you speculate on exactly what 120.2 radiators fit into the top panel.

Technically saying 120.2 makes me think thermochill, as people like blackice refer to a 2 fan radiator as a 240..

As this may sway the opinion of someone wanting to watercool, i think it would be best if it could be cleared up.

Hi Simon
The chassis top cover supports x2 120mm fans mounting and has been designed especially to work with Alpha cool NexXxoS-Xtreme-II-Rev-2[

Also there is another aperture in the side cover to support extra fan / heat exchanger positioned over the PCI bus area (Also x2 120mm fan mounting) .

Hi Hugger
The Ultra chassis is similar to our Eclipse which is now in its 6th year now .
Ultra supports the pan American market very well ,where as Akasa supports the European territories to its best abilities.

The Mirage is 2yrs old using the same framework but after customers views that didn't like the plastic door and did not support water cooling too well it was born "Omega" sporting Heavy Alumiumium front door and new extra gaming features that are that differentiator to the past.
