Retail Box	Some details
Snuggle soft	Included items

    I love cases that don't weigh a ton... and so does the UPS man when he has to carry a large case to my front door. The Ultra Micro Fly is a lightweight case, light enough to allow a carrying handle to be incorporated into the top of the box. This makes me and the UPS man happy. One other thing that makes me happy is seeing the case protected with the softer foam versus the harder Styrofoam, and this case is protected with the softer stuff {:-Þ

Outside:

Front	each side is the same	Bottom
Rear	Front I/O Ports	Panel switches and LEDs

    The Ultra Micro Fly comes in several flavors and styles. The color choices are Blue, Black, and Silver. It's also available with or without a power supply, and some have top- and side-windowed panels. Non-windowed cases have vented side panels.

   The particular version up for review will be the blue Micro Fly with vented side panels and a 400W power supply. Ninety percent of the action on this case is up front, which is good since that's where I like to start. The front bezel is the busiest part of this case, especially the one without windowed panels.

    The main thing that grabs my attention is the small LCD display. This display is tied into an internal temp probe.  Just under the LCD display are the dual USB ports, Audio/MIC connections, and one IEEE port. To the right of all that are the Power and Reset switches, along with the power and HDD LEDs.

   There are two external 5.25" bays and one 3.5" bay. Last, but surely not least, is the carrying handle. It's nice-looking, but I'm a little concerned as to its longevity, since it is plastic and feels flimsy. When in the closed position, the handle is recessed into the front bezel to keep everything looking flush.

handle	Another shot	One more
Vent holes	Same front vents	Side/Top panels

    The two side panels on this case have vent holes along the bottom section of the panels, going from front to back. As the case is compact, the rear end looks busy. There are four PCI slots, an 120mm exhaust port, A location for the PSU, and, of course, the I/O connections for the motherboard. This area is for the motherboard back plate, and PCI slots are incorporated into the removable motherboard tray and held in place securely with four screws.
