Ultra Microfly Mini Case Review

In the past, trying to find a compact case that is still versatile and truly dynamic was a daunting task. But that’s all changed now that there’s the Ultra Micro Fly! The Micro Fly can utilize any micro ATX motherboard, and because the Micro Fly is 1.5″ deeper than similar cases, it can accept standard depth ATX power supplies and standard depth optical drives. Despite Micro Fly’s compact size, cooling is never a problem since the Micro Fly comes included with an 80MM fan in the front bringing cool air in, and a 120MM fan in the rear pulling hot air out. The Micro Fly also includes front USB, Firewire and Audio Outputs and is available with an optional, Ultra V-Series 400W power supply with custom length cables.

The power supply is cooled by a 120mm fan that isn’t obtrusively loud. The motherboard connector is modular so if your motherboard only has a 20-pin connector instead of a 24-pin one, the extra pins can be detached.

The case comes with a power supply already installed. This is a nice feature, but gets in the way during installation so it should be removed when installing hardware.. The included supply is Ultra’s own 400W V-Series full ATX power supply that works with both Intel and AMD motherboards (and meets ATX 12V version 1.2 specifications).

This value series (hence the V-series) is a no-frills power supply, but is rock solid under normal use. Although it is “only” 400 watts, it would be difficult to max it out given the limited hardware that can fit within the MicroFly. If you installed the latest CPU and graphics card you would still only draw about 200W, leaving plenty of headroom for other components. These are its output specs:
