Introduction

When LanCool appeared, I had doubts bout the chassis it produced. It simply wasn’t worth its price when there were a whole lot of SECC/Hybrid chassis out there at more pleasing prices…my own personal opinion.

However my perception of LanCool changed when they launched their Dragonlord series of chassis.

LanCool Dragonlord

The models K56, K58, K60, K62 all have similar features, with the K62 having the most and the K56/58 having the basics.

Going into their website above, it is clear that the Dragonlord series are indeed targeted at the gaming enthusiasts.

Today I be looking at their highest model, the Dragonlord PC-K62

The Black interior of the K62

Most chassis are increasingly opting for black interior, however not all are nicely done. Feeling the black interior of the K62 is very much different from that of NZXT’s Lexa S.

The other side of the chassis

Hmm….the back gave a good impression of how cable management would be. Unlike some chassis which have many holes on the mobo tray for….well, ventilation? the K62 just had the right number of cut outs at the appropriate locations

The Rear of the Chassis

Pretty much standard looking, other than those unpleasant silver rivets

The accessories box

Very simply and plain. An aluminum PSU Holder, some screws and some wires[I](I accidentally placed a front cover)[/I]. That’s all.
Would be good if the screws were black though

Black Thumbscrews

There were only 4 of these thumbscrews. Lose one and the back of the chassis will look mismatched.
I feel that LanCool should have provided some extras .

Will be touching on some areas of the K62

The I/O panel is located at top, with the power/reset buttons, 2 USB ports and 2 audio jacks.
Its a little disappointing that there no eSATA port available though

With the top panel removed, it is seen to be easier to remove not needed ports/jacks. One can even remove the pcb too

Rear Exhaust

The K62 is not an exception when it comes to Lian Li’s reputable silent features. As seen above, every fan in the K62 is mounted with Lian Li’s new anti-vibration fan mounting system. Removal of the fans are also very easy

Front Intake

The front panel is indeed easier to remove, and once removed, a 140mm Blue LED fan can be seen

5.25″ Bays

The tool-less feature is evident when it comes to install 5.25″ devices. Just press the plastic latch, insert the device, and close the latch when done. No tools/screws needed at all

Base of the Chassis

An accessory for cable management is included at the bottom of the chassis. Will be convenient for those who requires help.

Although, personally I would not hide my cables at the base of any chassis.

PSU

The PSU is mounted at the bottom, and there are rubber pads present for both insulation and support.
Installing the PSU require no tools. Simply open the included aluminum PSU holder, insert the PSU in position (facing the PSU’s fans upwards or downwards), then close the aluminum PSU holder.

Bottom View

The bottom of the K62 sports a vent below the PSU, to ensure air goes in/out. Thankfully there is a washable air filter at the same location to stop dust from entering the case.

Side Panels

The beautifully riveted windowed side panel. Luckily there wasn’t any cracks.

Last but not least,

Top Fans

Not one, but TWO 140mm Blue LED fans are included! Definitely good for air flow

*Seeing that there are 3 140mm Blue LED fans included, it is no doubt expensive to change them to another 140mm LED fan with the color of your choice.
Therefore, a little mod to the fans is preferred. Just be sure to know basic electronics
