A closer look at the Ultra MicroFly Micro ATX Case reveals that the case includes two 5.25" external drive bays and one 3.5" external drive bay. The case uses plastic drive bay plates that can be easily removed to in order install any optical, monitoring or LCD based device. Underneath the drive bays is the location for a digital thermal probe monitor which is embedded behind an acrylic panel. There is one single thermal probe that can be placed near the CPU area for accurately tracking temperature performance in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. In order to cater to the gaming community the Ultra Products includes a foldable handle that allows this case to be easily transported from one location to another. Like the Apevia X-QPack the MicroFly uses the same poor handle design that feels very flimsy in my hands. I certainly would not recommend anyone using it once the case is weighted down with expensive components.

The middle portion of the MicroFly includes dual front mounted USB 2.0 ports, an IEEE 1394 Firewire port, as well as an Audio and Headphone jack. Each port is connected using a bypass cable that must be attached to the appropriate motherboard headers prior to use. Next to the front mounted ports is the location for an embedded silver Power button, Reset button and activity LED's for HD and Power.

One area which I must commend Ultra Products is the fantastic paint job presentation on the MicroFly chassis. The entire exterior has been painted navy blue with an impressive reflective car show finish. Ultra Products also offers this case with two different other colour formats (black and silver) which compliments the overall theme of the case. Internal chassis cooling is handled by a series of pre-drilled ventilations holes on the left and right side panels.
