Title: sheepys new case [let the moddin begin]
Post by: sheepy on February 09, 2003, 03:36:40 PM
i have just purchased my self a chieftech dragon in golden green
5th 1 down.
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Onl..._Cases_128.html (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Chieftech_Cases_128.html)

note that i didnt pay  that 90 quid 4 it i play 40 from this bloke who had it 3 months and then bought a shuttle [bastrd].

only mod that it currently has which does look quite sweet its that i have an alaska flashing blue led fan [bottom]
http://www.coolcasemods.com/products.php?menu=4&id=68 (http://www.coolcasemods.com/products.php?menu=4&id=68)

positioned throught the front grill which looks ok but it really needs 2 to pull off the look better.

soon there will b a multipul of windows appearing in the side

i managed to put the new heatsink and fan on, it was easier with the mobo out.

there are also 2 high flow thermaltake fans as an exaust and the standard chieftech fan intake on hte side.

thats 5 fans without counting psu fans, and ive only had it a day!

Idea 2 looks a bit too complicated.  I'd stick to the simpler shape of idea one mate.

BTW, are the sides bowing inwards with all them fans?  :lol:

i did all the cutting myself on my old case so i should b ok.

the trick it to cover the cutting area in masking tape ive been told, i wish i had a dremmel, i have to use a normal electric sawe thingy [cat rember name]

the 2 fans on the back are exhaust the front and side are intakes

drememls so suck.... they are kind of free-hand, while using a good quality jigsaw on a very high ossilation with a godo quality blade kind of guides its self......  of course its crap for those tight corners :-)

thats why i need a dremmel, of course i could always just get a circle cutter for fan holes and just use a drill. my only reservation with using a jigsaw is that last time it chipped the paint work around where i was cutting.

The trouble with being posh is that you aint got mates that work in factories, you see if you had then you'd have access to a plasma cutter that can cut precise shapes in steel to perfection.

Oh well lads, you stick to your funny shaped balls and drinking in wine bars.  :P

i have decided to go with the 2 smaller windows as if it all got tits up then i can just make it in 2 one big window ne way.
another thought that was put in2 my head by my little sister was to put a small window in the other side in the gap between the cd drive and the powersupply thus meening u can c straight through!
