IIRC the Draco was one of the first AMIGA compatible computers (the other was the EaglePC) and was intended to be a video editing system (think Video Toaster for Germany / Europe but using only MacroSystems cards).  It was fairly well received but it was expensive.  The link you provide shows a much newer case.  The original version was a towered system, much like the C= A4000T.

As others have posted, it did / does not use the Amiga chip set so if a program you are trying to use needs to address an AMIGA specific chip, that program will not run (ie alot of earlier AMIGA games).

Eagle computers was (IIRC) a German manufacturer that was often discussed when mentioning AMIGA licensed computers.  They became a big name in the 1990's as C= was in demise. They were basically a PC clone maker who was licensed to make an A4000T type system for Europe when AMIGA was owned by Amiga.de. I don't think they ever did anything on the US side of the pond however.

A few points of reference:
