Phewwwwwwwwwww. This has been such a hectic period. Only now I'm starting to settle down from all teh festive celebrations of xmas, new year, CNY n all those holidays.  I've been away for so long I havent even had time to update my projects. The pics have just been sitting in my HDD all this while. Anyway, here's 1 I did a while back. Tribal Dragon finally came back for a complete paintjob. I removed all the panels n proceeded to paint the top, side n bottom panels to gloss silver to match the front door n panel which I painted last time. Here's the paint after everything is done. No more orange peel effect of the stock Thermaltake paint which was really horrible.  All panels painted n case is assembled.   Here's how it looks like with everything done. Red lights used for a menacing dragon fire look.  Lights off, dark shot.   Aiyaaaaa, updating this halfway then Photobucket goes kaput on me again. I'll just post this up 1st then.

After finishing up the case, it was decided that the standard clear plastic for the window is just too cheap looking n ugly. Thermaltake uses a really cheap type of plastic for the window. It's distorted n scratches easily n also has the ugly Thermaltake logo on it. Thos who r using big tower HSF will also find that the 90mm fan mount on the window will obstruct the HSF. The idea was to remove it completely n replace the window with proper industrial grade acrylic for a crystal clear window. Sooooooo, let's get started with a blank piece of acrylic. I've already started cutting out the shape in this pic.  Rough cut is complete.  After that, I drilled the holes for the pop rivet mountings.  Lining it up with the original window to make sure I got everything right.  Finishing it all up with the good ol file.  Voila! Nice clear window is done.  That's it for the silver dragon. Next up will be a black dragon. I'm sorting out the pics right now. The black dragon shud b up in a while.

Very flimsy materials used, QUOTE(mfcm @ Feb 29 2008, 06:22 PM) nice job ian  woooow got black dragon summo  waiting ur pic :droll: Hehe. Black dragon been upgraded. No more Thermaltake. Black dragon will be based on a Lian Li. Here's a quick pic of the stock black dragon.
