Sliding off the glass side panel exposes the Ultra 55 4T’s rather sparse internals.



The mid-tower ATX case swallows up the micro-ATX B550m motherboard with plenty of room to spare, allowing it to accommodate upgraded components well into the future. On the other hand it also leaves so much empty space that seems almost bare - not the most attractive system to show off through that window. Like an empty room with well finished walls, it does show plenty of potential.

One notable factor if aesthetics are important to you is that - with the aid of a PCIe riser cable - the GPU can be vertically mounted in this case, using it as a showcase component and hiding the shortened motherboard and cables. Sadly even in that instance the NVMe SSD does stick out like a sore thumb, so consider investing in a cheap but attractive heatspreader.



Grommeted cable holes in the motherboard tray for ATX power are a nice inclusion. To the right of these is a vertical supporting bar/blanking plate behind which lies mounting points for two 120mm fans or a single 240mm radiator. That’s very much in the style popularised by Lian Li’s O11D, and something to consider as and when CPU cooling is upgraded.

Next we’ll move to the rear, and in fairness this isn’t the most tidy cable management we’ve seen from Cyberpower. Improvements are possible with the front panel cable routing that would make it a little tidier, and the non-modular PSU can always tend to result in something of a rats nest. Motherboard tray tie points throughout and two velcro cable straps will certainly help when additional fans, lighting and storage are installed later into this system’s life.



Cyberpower PC have smartly placed the RGB controller for the fans on a 2.5mm SSD mounting bracket, leaving free a further 2.5” bracket and the 3.5” drive bay at the bottom left.

Front panel I/O cables are attached at the top-left and are of adequate length to reach to the bottom of the case and back up to the lower edge of the short mATX motherboard. Care should be taken with the audio cable - yank on it too hard when getting it into place and the connector could easily be damaged.



Overall, the Ultra 55 4T finish is fine, if not quite up to the high standards we’ve come to expect from Cyberpower.
