Game Max Draco Mid-Tower Chassis Review

A Closer Look – Interior


Now that we have the side panel removed, you can see that there is a decent amount of space within the chassis despite its somewhat compact design. There is a cut-out behind the motherboard tray allowing for easier CPU cooler installation and quite a few cable routing holes around that. Unfortunately, there are no grommets, but the all-black interior paint job should do a pretty good job of hiding any exposed cables.

In the rear of the chassis, you can see the first of the four RGB 120mm fans. It’s a little hard to see here, but it comes with an excellent quality flat braided cable which runs to an RGB controlled fan hub in the rear of the chassis, which will see you in a moment.

360mm Radiator Support!

In the front of the chassis, three more of those lovely RGB 120mm fans. The fans are going to give you a massive wall of airflow throughout the chassis, which will keep your system nice and cool. It is possible that you could install a water cooling radiator in the front of the chassis, primarily thanks to a large clearance cut out towards the base. However, from my experience with previous Game Max chassis’, they do tend to favour air cooling and sometimes struggle with water cooler installations.

Another feature that I’m seeing becoming more and more commonplace in the chassis market is the PSU Shroud. The Game Max Draco uses a hard built-in metal cover to help keep the design looking nice and tidy. However, there are a few small cable routing holes built-in for good measure.

RGB Remote Control

Tied to the interior of the chassis, you’ll find a small bag of all the usual screws and bolts required to install your hardware. However, there is also a little infrared remote control to allow you to adjust the RGB LED lighting. Although, the lights are also controlled by a button on the front panel.

Behind the motherboard, it seems that cable routing space is all but nonexistent. Of course, you should keep in mind that the side panel did have a significantly raised section to allow some room for cables. There is extra cable space below the PSU shroud too, although the 3.5″ hard drive bays also use some of this area.

Fan Hub

Tucked away down in the corner you will find the RGB fan hub. This acts as the primary controller for the fan lighting and is powered by a single Molex connector.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
