Chieftec Dragon CH-07

Zitat

Performance aside, we have a few gripes with the case: we’d have preferred better provision for cable management and quieter fans for a start. The build quality is juxtaposition of classic Chieftec super sturdiness and cost cutting. The plastic imitation heatsinks along the top and boring grey finish interior aren’t what we might expect for an £80 case.

Then there’s the issue of the PSU partially (or perhaps wholly, depending on your PSU) obstructing one of the roof exhaust fans. Having a PSU mount down the bottom of the case would have stopped this problem, allowing for greater quantities of air to be hoofed out the top, but there isn't - it's simply badly designed.

[...]The Dragon’s cooling performance is what helps it claw back some points. It was close to that of Antec’s Nine Hundred Two and identical to that of the Lian Li PC-P50 in both the CPU and GPU stress tests. Considering that these are two of the best midi-tower cases out there at the moment, we feel that this is a decent result for Chieftec. If you're on a super tight budget then the Dragon offers high-end performance at a slightly more reasonable price than the competition and given that it's only just hit the shelves it could be in for a price drop in near future too.
