I received this semi-old pc from a friend, gutted it out and used the case + my parts for a back-up. Well it's missing the front door and I can't find any numbers to identify the case so I can get a replacement door. Maybe someone can help by looking at these pics?

That case has been around for ages. I believe it was made by Antec, but other manufacturers may have used the same OEM.
 
Chieftec Dragon. It looks like Chieftec sold the design though to a company called Chenming, and the ones that Chenming sells are door-less.
Chieftec still sells cases, but now they're fairly bland and generic in design.
Used to have a "Planetary Purple" Dragon. :) Loved that case....outgrew the 80mm fan noise though. :D

Antec sold them as an SX-1030 and an SX-1240; looks like the 1030 is the midtower and 1240 is the full tower. (found that through google)

Hate to say you're probably going to have a real hard time finding parts, short of locating a used case and gutting it for more parts.

Thx u Zero2dash. It was in fact a Dragon. Looks like the doors gonna be harder to find then I thought -.-
 
Was going to say a Chieftech Dragon as well, pretty much one of my first cases (Xaser III was almost identical, but much tougher and heavier).

I have that exact case. I am 99% positive that it is the Antec Plus 1080AMG.

It isn't.

The chassis is the same, the plastic in the front is different. The antec 1080's fins and door aren't parallel lines, the Chieftec Dragon's are.
 
Ya its the dragon. Good news I actually found a door for it. Its the full bezel and i'm gonna have to sand and paint it but hey out of hundreds of sites it was the only one that had it in stock. XD
 
i used to have one of those, problem with 80mm fan noise? put dual or tripple 120's in the front like most people did, just takes about 20 min with a dremel :-P
 
My main rig is still housed in my OG Antec SX1030, which was a gift for my 18th birthday.

Now that I'm not a poor high school kid, I'm tempted to try to find an auto body shop willing to repaint it.
 
Those are the toughest cases I have ever seen, sure they lack cable management but they will last a lifetime.
 
Well the bezel I ordered for it is to big even though the specs matched on the site so back to searching...
 
There are 2 sizes of he case, there's the bigger-than-mid-but-smaller-than-full tower size with 4 5.25 drive bays, and then there's the holy-fuck-this-case-is-huge size with about 200 drive bays.

Looks like you have the smaller size.
