i have just purchased my self a chieftech dragon in golden green
5th 1 down.

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]

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:

Stryker · February 10, 2003, 10:20:29 AM

oh yeah, I've actually cut a case myself before.... just did the simple square with rounded corners... can give some pointers if I can remember.

sheepy · February 10, 2003, 12:39:32 PM

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

this is the wiggley window that i was one about [slow 2 load] but its in hte top post.

Stryker · February 10, 2003, 04:12:09 PM

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 :-)

sheepy · February 10, 2003, 05:26:59 PM

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.

sheepy · February 10, 2003, 06:11:52 PM
