    Default Dominion

    Well guys I thought I would finally post as I have been a lurker here for some time. All of you have some pretty mad skills. This is what i have been working on. The case started out as a stock silver chieftec matrix series tower. I then ordered the door with the side window as I didnt have the time to cut one. It stayed like that for some months. Then the spark hit me. After many weeks of chain smoking, enough obscenity from cutting hands and spilt paint, and some time spent in local junk yards this waht we finished with(minus the front which is still drying). It is kinda of a tribute to cars/truckdrivers. There are accents on it that appeal to both. MY father was a mechanic most of his life , therefore i was around all sorts of vehicles my whole life. The system isnt that great as far as hardware specs but it gets the job done as far as I am needing it to.
    Specs.
    Proc - Athlon xp 2600+ oced to 3000+
    mobo - Soyo KT880 Dragon 2
    mem - 2 x Mushkin Blackline pc3200 1gb sticks
    vid - BFG FX5500oc 256mb AGP
    Sound - Audigy 2 Platinum ZS
    VId cap - ATI ve pci video capture card
    Opticals - Liteon dvd-Rom and dvd-RW
    Storage - 1 x 250 gb western digital
    1 x 200 gb western digital
    1 x 30 gb western digital
    2 x 80 gb western digital
    3 x 40 gb western digital
    total = 760 gb
    monitor - 22" proview widescreen

    Next upgrade planned is the vid card as this one sucks.

    Now the fun part the mods.
    Fresh Viper Blue Paint
    Custom cut window in right panel
    Wrapped all 5.25 bays with cf wrap
    5 port 10/100 switch in 5.25 custom panel
    Cut fan ports in the left door above window
    6 outlet surge protector inside of case (ran of pws and to power switch)
    Chrome AMD letters on drive cage inside comp
    All the blue lighting you can stand.
    Here are a couple of shots for you guys.







    Let me know what you think..

    It's big, isn't it?

    I like the blue, and the CF, but I'm not sure about the right side window. What do you see through it? Drive cages?

    How about the front panel, are you going to replace it?

    yeha the front panel is still in the shop drying. THe only thing you can see through that side window is the amd lettering and some light thats about it. And yes it is big but i need the room to house the hdd's and such. This is the media server/my personal gaming system for the home. The paint is akenzo noble viper blue.

    Totally love the mud-flap girl! And that is the first time I've seen a power strip on the case interior, cool though!
