Default [Project] Dragon Reborn

This mod was originally meant to be in the 09' case mod competition, but time/money constraints forced me to put it off. So I've decided to go ahead and post what I have done so far, and hopefully finish within the next couple weeks.

The victim is a Antec Dragon case my friend used for his old computer: 2.4Ghz Pentium 4 Skt 478, some AGP mobo, and a ATi X800PE. Great back in the day, but more than a little dated now

Also, I am by no means an experiance modder, in fact, this is my first attempt. I welcome criticism, but be gentle

The Victim: (Just a warning: one of these was taken with my cellphone.)



Disassembly: Drilling out 40+ rivets, hurray.


The 80mm fans in the front weren't working for me, so I figure some 120mm fans are in order here.


Painting: These pictures seem to have gone the way of the disassembly ones, so instead I have a couple of the case back together painted. (Although I took it apart right after )


The painted backplate for my 4870

I flipped my AM2 mount too soon, so I need to strip it and repaint it.

Front panel:


It's a bit of a disorganized mess atm(The worklog, not the case), but I'm pretty sure I know where the missing pictures are. Hopefully it'll make more sense as I approach the end of the mod.
