Introduction
I would like to thank
Antec for supplying the review sample.
In hopes to differentiating itself from the harsh competition in the mainstream case market, Antec made a bit of a splash with the Flux cases in the recent past. The Antec Draco 10 being reviewed here, on the other hand, is a simple, straightforward mATX chassis that aims to provide all the needed functionality without the bells and whistles, but good looks and an affordable price tag.

Packaging
The Antec Draco 10 ships in the usual brown cardboard box with an image of the chassis on front and a blow-up diagram and additional details on the back. Both sides hold specifications in multiple languages and carrying holes for easier transportation.
Two Styrofoam spacers hold the chassis in place, with a thin plastic bag protecting it from fingerprints and scratches.
