Hello and welcome to Wildfire99's very first build log! First off i want to thank the community here for inspiring me to do this case mod and for teaching me the skills required to be able to do this.

Today we will be learning how to modify a antec 900. I know that a lot of people have done this before so ive tryed to think of a few mods that i think will make mine stand out from the rest. As of the time of this posting i have very few of the build components and im very financialy strapped so updates may be sporadic(chance i wont get any money for a month or i might get about $500 on monday we will have to see but i will eventualy finish this mod). the name Maleficent Emerald Dream put simply means evil green dream for those who are vocabularly impaired.

Day 1-Prep work.

Today is just some basics so i can at least put something up while i wait for some cash and parts. Really nothing you havnt seen 4-9 times before.

The Victim!


Im not even going to bother showing u the stripping of the case or unpacking.

Fan filters, not entirely sure how im gona fit these....


Hmmmm


Well that works i guess... ill do some more tinkering with these later on


Descrewed


These are going to need a visit to the painting booth


Gona have to do something to this thing first...


Half way done


That was just plain riveting!


Almost ready for paint i need to pick up a dremel and make some cuts on the window and fan mesh


Sorry for such a small first update i will be back with something thats hopefully more intresting soon. Now lets hear some comments on my plans! If you guys have anything to suggest, shoot because im completely open to suggestions.

Thanks for watching! ^_^

did you get the name emerald dream from the warcraft series, as in the druidium santuary?

I was J/W, looks like it'll be a solid build out, although having the filter directly int he fan like that may cause issues... IMHO

The name came from a list of reccomendations in a thread althought slightly altered by me im not sure if the name originaly came from WoW or not. Yea im not sure how the filter is going to do their i need to tinker more on it but that can wait until later in the build.
