Last week i went scrounging in my storage getting prepare to move to my new house and see what i found !!

Chieftec Dragon Full Tower Casing

Planning to mod this casing but I am not creative enough

So I am looking for ideas and comment on how to mod this baby. Planning to use this casing for Gaming/HTPC function (I know its too big but why not )

Will probably start Mid of November or so when i have some spare time.

Restrictions: I am staying in a condominium so i don't have the facility nor equipment to cut/paint the casing, so iam looking for modding services around puchong/ OKR/ cheras area. Budget around max 1K (of coz the cheaper the better )

Planned Components:
1. Phenom II X6 1075T
2. Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H
3. Kingston 4GB RAM (2X2)
4. Acbel 900W PSU
5. WD Black 1TB HDD
6. Blu-ray Drive
7. DVD-Burner
8. Sapphire HD6870 X 2 (Crossfire)

Uses: GAMING!! Home Theather occasional work

P.S: I am going for Air cooled as i dont have the budget for WC set

nice casing for mod!!!
make a big window for it...and try add some fan for better air ventilation...

tall casing mate...

Planning to do that, but im the process of getting the costs of modding the case before i start

yeah, Full Tower almost up to my thighs

if u need acrylic i can provide u i think...

AH kk, let me get the dimensions of the side panel, btw do you have colored acrylic? currently thinking of 2 colors, Orange and black

onli colourless i got...pm me to chat...

hmmmmmm tis is interesting..... Hardly see any casing so tall n flat oredi. Maybe can paint wholoe thing 2 a single color..... But how if u wan 2 add front fans?

u can buy color paint to spray on transparent acrylic, then got color d lor.

I forgot to take the front plate off, the side view HDD brackets inside got a fan bracket each so there 3 front facing fan, 2 for HDD bracket and 1 more at the bottom for intake

Lol, iam looking for transparent one, if i wanted to paint it, i would have just bought colored paper and stick on it

can stuff like 2 TFC monsta inside

I see..... All the best in this mod!!

With the size of the casing i think the possibility is endless

Thanks, will do, now considering the coloring options either Orange/Black or Red/Black, Blue/Black too common already

use combination of florescent orange and flat black maybe nice...

Powder coat that case!!

I thought so too, regarding the acrylic windows i will pm you soon as iam going for sandblasting my current paint off 1st.

yeah i will, now deciding on the color scheme, either inside orange/red and outer matt black with clear acrylic window

my dream case!!! weigh around 15kg right???

lol i have the same Chieftec casing but mid-tower and aluminium instead. So it's very very light. Still using it since way back in 2002 until now.

Yeah, its one heavy heavy mutha*@#$%^&*(

Nice, too bad mine is SECC i think i bought sometime in 2001/02 also, kinda forgot since it was in storage for so long.
