Product:
Nikao Dragonfire Case
Provided By:

You can
really see the Chinese flare to
this product by looking at the
shipping carton which shows a
picture of the case along with
what looks to be a ink drawing
of a dragon. Since
Nikao's main office is located
in Shenzhen, China it would only
make sense that their
product would reflect a bit of
their culture.
Removing the
Dragonfire case we get our first
look at the front of the case,
the overall finish on the case
is a midnight black paint finish
that has a highly reflective
gloss to it. Located on
the four corners of the case
there are four flame accent
pieces covers the corners of the
top, side, front of the case.
We also get our first look at
the chrome sword accent pieces
that are used on the front as
well as the side panel window.
The snazzy grill cover finishes
the front of the Dragonfire case
and I must say it is rather sexy
looking looking. |

Two chrome
flames accent the large size
window panel used on the
Dragonfire, yet they still allow
enough room for the interior
components to be seen and they
will look pretty sharp when they
are back lit by a cold cathode
light. The panels on the
Dragonfire are held in place
with thumb screws and once
removed the panels simply slide
rearward to be taken off.
Nikao's has also take steps to
make sure that their case does
not emit any noise pollution or
it the recipient of any either,
by placing a nearly invisible
EMI screen over the window
opening. |

With the door
opened we can see that the case
has room for four 5.25" drives
as well as two - 3.5" drives.
You can also see the 120mm fan
located at the lower portion of
the bezel, this is a blue LED
fan which when lit offers a very
nice blue color and is not
overly bright so as to be
bothersome to use with it on.
The circular
accent ring that surrounds the
120mm fan opening reminds me of
a Ninja throwing star, but
whatever it is it adds a nice
touch to the already impressive
looking front of the Dragonfire
Case. |

The accessory
hookups are located on the right
side of the case near the
bottom, here you will find a
pair of USB ports and jacks for
a headphone and microphone.
One
interesting thing about the door
used on the Dragonfire case is
the fact that the second 5.25"
drive bay has a hole cut through
the door which will allow you
operate a CD/DVD without opening
the door or perhaps card reader
of some sort or even a digital
display of some type.
Either way it is nice to have
and let your imagination run
wild with what you will do with
the opening. |
