Super solid construction, toolless options are not flimsy like most and give you an option for screws. Lots and lots of room- 8 PCI slots. Fairly quiet though warmer than my Antec 300. Looks great- a case with a window that doesn't look overly garish.
Cheaped out a little bit on mounting hardware- if you want to put in more fans you need to buy their proprietary rubber grommets, though I took the ones off the hard drive caddies for use with the fans. Not enough intake fans- I ordered a converter to turn the extra cd drive bays into a 120mm fan holder. Don't carry the case by the top/front panels- they pop off super easy.
For the price, there's no better deal. The case is super heavy and solid (which may be a pro or a con). Get some extra fans though- I added a 120mm drive bay fan adapter with fan at the front and a 140mm fan at the top.
Mesh front with dust filters
Tool-free design
Easy access Hard drive bays
Said dust filters are a hassle to remove requiring you to bend the metal clips enough so they don't snag when trying to remove them.
Cable management leaves something to be desired, specifically the room on the opposite side of the motherboard is a little cramped.
Power button design is seriously flawed. The rubber insert that is supposed to push the button down falls out easily and over time ceases to fully press the button down. Eventually it no longer works and you have to remove the top to manually press the power button, or find creative ways to rig the power button to work again.
I won't consider these flaws necessarily, but definitely might want to consider these before you decide you want this case:
Clumsy to carry: The front and top are flimsy and easily removed. Obviously intended as a feature, this makes it a bit of a pain to move from place to place, requiring you to grip the bottom carefully and reach around the back and grab near the I/O plate. Personally, I'd love to see more cases incorporate an easy to carry handle/design.
Plenty of 5.25 bays, not many HDD bays. Requires 2.5" adapter for SSD.
Airflow is so so. Could be improved by adding a side mount to the window.
No screws included for top fan mounts. I had to use zip ties, which worked fine.
In retrospect, I wish I had opted for a case with front panel USB 3.0. As this becomes more common, it is likely to be desired.
All in all, a good case. Not great, but it works well. You may be served better off getting something else.

| Features | The hardware installation with Dragon Lord K58W is very easy and simple. The front panel and top panel are detachable and they can be removed without tools. The Dragon Lord K58W is targeted for the LAN party gamers. It is a mid-tower case, which is ideal for the latest graphics cards in combination with the best thermal dynamics. All the internal installation can be done without tools, and is easily adjustable to optimize your hardware setup. Especially in the advent of adding in new graphics cards, equipped with 8 PCI slots, can hold three or more graphics cards, supports CrossfireX and 3-way SLI The new internal layout has the motherboard on top of the power supply unit, which allows for easier access to the motherboard as well as more room above, thus larger CPU coolers can be used. The power supply unit at the button of the case is cooled with fresh cool air directly from the outside of the case, instead of pre-heated air from within. This will bring down the core temperatures and extend the lifespan of the PSU significantly. To install motherboard require no tools, use tool-less screw to screw a motherboard on case, easily and quickly. |
