Game Max Draco Mid-Tower Chassis Review

Complete System

Building a system inside the Draco was pretty straightforward, and all components fit with ease; we had no major fitment issues at all. The overall build quality of the chassis is pretty good. Although, the internal design could be improved ever so slightly to make things look even better.

Big GPU? No Problem!

There’s a lot of clearance for a good size graphics card in this system, so there are no concerns there. However, routing cables to the graphics card did involve trailing them from either the holes on the back plate or the ones further back on the PSU shroud. Having a small hole towards the front edge of the PSU Shroud would be preferable as graphics card cables can then pass straight up to the card.

While it’s a little tricky to see, the motherboard 8-pin power cable is coming from the right-hand side of the motherboard. The wire then passes over the top of the graphics card and under the cooler, up to the motherboard connector in the top left. There is a hole there for routing a cable to the motherboard, but it is obscured almost entirely by the motherboard itself and routing a cable through will only make installing the motherboard a tricky, but not impossible process. If the chassis were just a centimetre or two taller, this hole could have easily accommodated.

Huge Airflow

This isn’t the widest chassis in the world. However, we were still able to mount a good size air cooler. Most of the common size coolers on the market should have no trouble fitting at all. Of course, with three 120mm fans in the front of the chassis, airflow is not a problem for the Draco, and with a single rear mounted 120mm fan, the exhaust isn’t going to be a problem either.

Cable routing space is limited and some of the routing hole are not in ideal locations. However, as you can see, the overall build came out pretty great. With a little effort, you can achieve professional looking build that is both neat and tidy.

Lighting!

The RGB lighting is very nice. It gives off a lot of light with vivid colours and effects. The chassis isn’t the only thing giving off light within the chassis either. Though the window, lights on the graphics card and motherboard are shown off to great effect. Obviously, RGB lighting such as this isn’t to everyone’s taste, but using the remote, you can quickly change the colours to your liking or turn the lights off entirely if that is what you wish.
