Hey guys,
today I started with my project.
I have an Chieftec Dragon CS-901, I got that very cheap about 2 years ago, it was silver when I got it, but I painted it matte black...
But now I want to really modify it, because the only thing I did to it was to add a radiator and a reservoir on top, and I've added two 120mm fans into the side panel...

Now I want to paint the whole thing black from the inside and the outside, together with a large plexiglas window...all cables will be sleeved ("murderbox-style" ), I will modify my watercooling parts so they fit into the color scheme...
I will add some 1/2" inner diameter and 3/4" outer diameter red/UV red tube together with some nice UV cold cathode lights, and I will add some sheets inside, so some parts and wires can be hidden better...

Well, I think that's it so far, let's start with some pictures of the "victim":





I allready unmounted all the internals, as I sold my old hardware, and I used my watercooling-setup for testing on the new hardware...so everything's ready to be modded!!

First thing I did today was to cut out that stupid sheet in the middle of the case:



There it is:



5 minutes later the part was cut into two pieces, because the one part will be installed again, to remain the solid structure:



Next thing I did was to cut a sheet of stainless steel, so it will fit right where I want it. I will have to cut away in the shape I marked there, because I don't want it to cover ALL of that like it does now:




Another sheet of it (they both will be painted black to match the rest of the inside) will go on the backside, right above the motherboard-tray, so I can hide all the wires there:



I will have to cut that into the right size first, I will do that tomorrow maybe...

Next thing I did today was to fit the 2nd radiator into the front:






You will see the position where it will sit, the steel sheet will cover it when looking from the side, but when looking from a different angle you will see it!! I think that's a real nice idea, how do you like it?
As you can see I allready marked the area that needs to be cut out, and I allready drilled the mounting holes...

And here are some of the materials I got allready:





35m Techflex Flexo PET - I hope that's enough...

I allready got the plexi-window sitting here, but I have it in the box to prevent it from getting damaged...

Hardware that's going to be installed:

Asus P5Q-E (I think I will mod that a bit, too, I will watercool the NB and add some of these aftermarket MOSFET-coolers...)
E8200/E8400
2x2GB Corsair XMS2 Dominator
PowerColor HD4850...

and a lot of other parts, too...



Now your comments please!!
