The Antec Draco 10 is an mATX chassis aiming to deliver cool looks and a clean design with a bit of ARGB bling for those on a tight budget. While affordably priced, it still provides dual USB 3.0 as well as very good liquid-cooling capabilities, so it does seem to have a few aces up its sleeve.

It's expensive also, you can find many cases below €50 (58€ in Europe for Draco) with better features. If you want to go low you can find cases with RGB/tempered glass/dust filters/ 2X USB 3.1 etc as low as €37 like the LC-Power Gaming 701B Badge_X

Wake up!







It is big (560 mm x 209 mm (+16 mm for screws) x 488 mm) and fits only mATX. Besides, CPU cooler compatibility are terific. Also it costs lot - 150€. So rectangular cases are way more practical

Well, that's a Chieftec case, not an Antwec... so whats your point ? it is also butt-fugggly and worthless from a design standpoint too IMHO....

And it reminds me of those silly walking tanks from Star Wars, you know the one that Luke tripped up by wrapping a cable around the legs and it came crashing down like the pile of conglomerated clustercrap that it was :D

I read "anyone" instead of "antwec", sorry about that.

Actually I want to say that those 641,723.59 rectangular boxes are lame, but usually it is the most practical design
