This is my time-killer for winter break. Basically its gonna be a really slick version of the good ol' Chieftec Dragon, with the front panel completely smooth and everything painted black. I want it to be extremely quiet. What you see there is like my first draft, and when you get to the bottom of the page you'll see why. Currently I've got the basic case almost done except for touching up and detail work. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do to make the mod actually look cool, but i'll let that come to me when i finish getting the front panel done.
You might be wondering what the heck i'm gonna do for ventilation with the louvers in the front gone, but not to worry, as the mod progresses in the following weeks you'll see what i'm gonna do to solve that problem It should be about 240mm of problem solving.
I'm kinda torn about whether or not i want to do a window. Without one the case might be a little too bland, but a window is the kind of thing i wanted to avoid with this mod. I've got some black plexi that might work nice, but we'll see how i feel once the front panel is done.
Plans aside from the smooth front panel:
rubber casters
black paint (just a flat finish, nothing special)
twin 120mm vantec stealth intakes on the bottom (problem solved )
motherboard mounts for a Shuttle SFF motherboard (because its my only dual channel board and i'm sick of the loud case its in now)
obligatory black sleeving and black molex connectors
if i do a window, the inside will be painted black as well
