[ Sorry if pictures dont resize!]
Well basically i uncovered my Chieftec Dragon(i think?) case while looking for things to flog on ebay to purchase my phone. Since im thinking about selling my cm690 i was gunna have a look at possibly using this case while i look for an mATX board, its easier to cary than my c690 even if it is 2kg heavier ha.
So far ive come up with a list of things id like to get the case to do:
1. Fit 120mm fans instead of 80/92mm
2. Some form of cable management
3. Hard drive suspension
4. Sound proofing/dampening.
5. Possibly new colour scheme
Now the first one is really the most important one for me cause 80mm fans arent quiet and thats kinda what im looking for right now with my system. If anyone can help me with idea in how to achieve this then i would appreciate it.
here are some photos of the dragon:
This is where i had my hard drive when my old system was in here, worked very well however i would like to try a more secure method of quieting the drives.
For sound proofing i was going to just get some of that foam padding from somewhere like scan and fit the entire case with it but im not very imaginative with all this modding.
Cable management is something i think would be simple with this case i think, i could use the top part of the case and possibly just cable tie them to the top of it.
With the fans there is 80mm ones in the hard drive cages and i cant see how i would mod them to support 120mm so that part is a lost cause. However the 2 rear 80mm could somehow be changed and possibly i could mod the case to fit more 120mm fans, perhaps the top?.
Since its an old case i am willing to try anything with it pretty much, my dad has all metal work tools and any other DIY thing u can think of so i should be able to perform any task(with his help), i would attempt the paintjob but it still is pretty nice and i know i would make it look really bad (i like black more but i guess ill live with it!).
Any help is appreciated.
