Calling~ Calling~ Calling~ for Chieftec proud owner!!!

Reviving from the dead!!

Ok, there is a reason for this...I'm looking for this :



Its for the Dragon full tower... It allows the PSU to be mount horizontally and the HDD rack to be mounted juz above it...

Look at the placement below...




Anyone got any idea where to buy/custom made/or just got one laying around collecting dust and dunno what to do with it, please let me know k...

The Dragon Arise again

Just found this bad**s casing in my storage room. Dont ask me how long cause i have no idea

Wanna start modding this casing soon to build my Gaming/HTPC rig

I already posted my casing pics in the Worklogs so free to comment and give some ideas on how to mod this baby.

Pardon my thread necromancing, here's one for the old school... a bone stock Chieftec Dragon Full Tower from the glory days of AMD Athlon XP. Everything is stock, even the side panel has no window.

Side note: Thinking of moving everything into a case supporting quieter 200mm fans, anyone in Klang Valley looking to adopt (yes for free) this Chieftec Dragon can hit me with a PM. Have to be patient though, we're living in the period of pandemic and I'm not keen to ship 15kg worth of steel.

Story: Day to day currently, I use my Macbook and run Parallels for Windows apps - but there are some apps that are power and memory hungry. So I decided to revive the old desktop and remote in instead of running Parallels and driving the Macbook to its thermal limits.

Recently upgrades with some affordable parts I found online:
1. 32GB ram - mobo spec says 16GB max, pretty surprised and 'motivated' to find some threads online reporting 32GB success
2. i7 870 - from i5 750
3. 5.25" drive rack - can hold 6x 2.5" drives. I cut off the rack's faceplate to maintain the stealth look.

Misc spec:
- PSU: Silverstone 600W
- Mobo: Asus P7P55D-E
- GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 5870
- SSD: Refurb Samsung pulled from Lenovo laptop
- Fan controller: 3.5" Vantec 4 channel
- Case fans: 4x Thermaltake Orange Screamers, 1x Sunon
