Logisys Dracula Case Review
|
| Next we'll take a look at the side panels. The window
cutout/design for this case is definitely not your conventional square
or round window. The window itself is held in place by rivets
which are screwed in from the interior. The window has a unique
shape with a "wing" or "arm" running up the middle. The wing also
goes across the other side panel. The window also has an 80mm fan
installed at the end of the wing. The placement for this fan is
almost perfect, because on any normal motherboard it will sit right over
you video card and keep it nice and cool. |

The final exterior part of the case is the rear.
The rear of the case's claim to fame is the gigantic 120mm fan throwing
air out the back of the case. Even though this fan moves a
ridiculous amount of air, it is surprisingly and relatively quiet.
The 120mm fan is also included with the case. Other than the fan,
the rest of the back is pretty much standard, room for a power supply,
the I/O plate, and 7 PCI slots for all of your add on cards.

| Case Interior |
| The interior of the Dracula case is
pretty standard. It has a standard motherboard tray, which is not
removable, the internal four 3.5" bays are not removable either.
The one thing that did stand out to me about the inside of this case was
another 120mm fan mount right in front of the HDD bays. Even
though this is the only fan not included with the case, it is another
perfect spot for a high airflow fan. With the growing popularity
of 7200rpm and now even 10,000rpm hard drives, there is a growing need
for hard drive cooling, and a 120mm fan will do just that. |

| Conclusion |
| Overall I really like a lot of things
about this case; from the alien head on the front door, to the unique
style of the window. I also like the face design on the bottom of
the front panel, the included 80mm fan in the side panel, the included
rear 120mm fan, and the front 120mm fan mount for all around good
airflow. There are some things that could have been done a little
better though; removable motherboard trays are always a nice thing to
have, along with removable drive bays. The other little gripe that
I have with this case is that I think it would be pretty cool if the
"eyes" on the front panel were the power and IDE status lights, but the
regular lights work well enough. Overall this case gets an 8.0/10
on the HardwareMods product scale. |
