Xigmatek Aqua Ultra RGB ATX Mid Tower Gaming PC Case - Black / 7 x Pre Installed ARGB Fans / EN40672 / EN40672 + FREE DELIVERY !

The Xigmatek Aqua Ultra is a black mid tower gaming case that arrives with seven ARGB LED fans already installed, so airflow is handled before you add a single component. It supports liquid cooling and leaves ample room for cables and large parts, which makes it workable for a first build as well as an experienced one. A tempered glass side panel puts the result on show.

The Aqua Ultra takes motherboards up to E-ATX, CPU coolers to 185mm, power supplies to 220mm and graphics cards to 430mm, with radiator support to 360mm and up to ten fans in total. Those six numbers decide whether a parts list fits, and every one of them sits at the generous end for a mid tower rather than the minimum.

Cooler clearance runs to 185mm, which is the height figure to check any tower air cooler against before ordering. Getting it right matters because a cooler that fouls the side panel cannot simply be repositioned, and 185mm gives room for the taller dual-tower designs rather than restricting the build to low-profile alternatives from the start.

The chassis supports a maximum of ten fans across its mounting positions, and seven of those are already fitted. Headroom above the supplied count matters because it lets you rebalance intake and exhaust later, once you know how the finished system actually behaves under load, rather than being locked into the layout the case shipped with.

The power supply bay accepts units up to 220mm in length. That is a meaningful margin over a standard ATX unit, and it is what allows a high-wattage supply with a longer body to fit without the cable bundle at the back being crushed against the drive cage. Length is the specification that most often blocks a PSU upgrade.

VGA cards up to 430mm in length are supported, which covers the longest triple-fan designs currently on the market with room to spare. Graphics card length is the single most common reason a build has to change case midway through, so a 430mm limit removes the constraint from the decision rather than making it the deciding factor.

Radiator support tops out at 360mm, the largest size most all-in-one liquid coolers are offered in. A case that only accepts 240mm caps how much heat a loop can shed regardless of what pump or block you fit, so having the full 360mm option available is what keeps a high-power CPU on liquid cooling a realistic plan.

The Aqua Ultra is laid out for bottom-to-top vertical airflow, drawing cool air in low and letting it exit high. That direction works with heat rather than against it, since warm air rises on its own, and it keeps the graphics card and CPU cooler fed from the coolest part of the chassis instead of from air already warmed by other components.

Three pieces of tempered glass make up the exterior, with the front and left panels meeting seamlessly so there is no frame breaking the corner view. A dynamic ARGB LED bar runs alongside them. The effect is a case that shows the whole front quarter of the build rather than one flat side of it through a bordered window.

The Aqua Ultra supports vertical VGA installation, turning the graphics card to face the glass instead of sitting edge-on to it. On a case built around a seamless glass corner that is the orientation which actually shows the card, and it is the reason vertical mounting is worth having rather than being a novelty on a solid-panel chassis.

A removable motherboard extension panel is built into the chassis, which means the section behind the board comes out rather than forcing you to work around it. That access is what turns a cooler backplate change or a cable reroute into a ten-minute job instead of a full strip-down of an already finished system.

Motherboard support extends to E-ATX, so a workstation-class board fits alongside the gaming hardware without needing a full tower. E-ATX boards carry more VRM area, more memory slots and more expansion, and a mid tower that accepts them keeps the option of a heavier platform open without committing to a larger case footprint on the desk.

Two removable HDD and SSD cages are included, together supporting four 3.5-inch hard drives and four 2.5-inch solid state drives. Because the cages come out, storage capacity is a trade against airflow that you control: keep them for a media library, or pull them entirely to open the lower chamber for a cleaner front intake path.

The top panel takes three 120mm fans, and the motherboard panel accepts either three 120mm or three 140mm units. That second position is unusual and useful: fans mounted on the board panel blow directly across the graphics card and VRM area rather than past them, which is where the heat concentrates in a modern gaming build.

A dynamic ARGB LED bar runs with the seamless front and left panels, giving the case a lighting element that is part of the structure rather than an accessory clipped on afterwards. Combined with the seven pre-installed ARGB fans, the lighting reads as one continuous scheme instead of several components each doing their own thing.

A removable bracket carries either fans or an AIO liquid cooler, so the cooling hardware is assembled outside the case and then dropped in as a finished unit. Anyone who has tried to align a 360mm radiator and six screws inside a populated chassis will recognise what that saves, and it makes later cooling changes far less disruptive.

The top-mounted I/O panel provides two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, a single USB-C port and an HD audio jack. Five USB connectors within reach of the desk covers a headset, a drive, a controller and a phone at the same time, which is the point at which you stop reaching around the back of the machine.

Radiators mount at 240mm or 360mm on the top of the chassis, and the motherboard tray position accepts 240mm, 280mm or 360mm. Having two full-size positions available means a dual-loop build is possible, or simply that a single 360mm radiator can be placed wherever it interferes least with memory height and cable routing.

Alongside the connectors, the top panel carries a power button, a reset button and a dedicated LED switch. The LED switch is the practical one: it changes the lighting without any software running, which means the case can be dimmed for a late session or a video call without opening a control application to do it.

Reverse fan blades come pre-installed on the motherboard panel and on the bottom side of the chassis. A reverse blade is designed to look correct from the front while pushing air in the intended direction, which is what allows fans in a display-facing position to be both visually tidy and functional rather than one at the expense of the other.

A traditional fan blade is pre-installed on the rear side, where the single 120mm exhaust position sits. The rear fan is not on display, so a conventional blade is the right choice there, and pairing it with the reverse blades elsewhere is how the case keeps a consistent look from the front without compromising the exhaust path.

The bottom of the chassis takes 240mm or 360mm radiators and the rear position accepts 120mm. A bottom-mounted radiator suits the case's low-intake airflow direction, drawing cool air straight through the fins, while the rear slot is there for a compact loop or an additional exhaust point in a build already using the top and tray positions.

An easy panel mounting system holds the exterior together, so panels come off and go back on without a hunt for the right screwdriver. On a glass-heavy case that is a safety feature as much as a convenience, because panels that are awkward to remove get handled awkwardly, and tempered glass is unforgiving of being levered at an angle.

The Aqua Ultra uses a dual chamber layout, separating the power supply and cable mass from the main component area. Keeping the PSU in its own compartment means it draws its own air rather than sharing warmed air with the graphics card, and it hides the cable bundle behind a divider instead of leaving it in the glass view.

A high-airflow anti-dust mesh grill forms the bottom panel and supports three 120mm cooling fans for efficient GPU and CPU cooling. Filtering at the bottom intake is what stops the case pulling carpet and desk dust straight into the loop, and mesh with that much open area keeps the filter from becoming a restriction in its own right.
