Well, I just signed up last night and I must say, nice site!

So, I got a Chieftec Dragon (Green W/ Window) and I have done a bit of modding, but I got big plans.

What I have done:

I modded my GeForce4 MX 440 (No Fan on HS Stock) by screwing an old case fan onto the HS to cool it off (I got a scar ), I put UV Reactive paint around the edge of the PCB, I got 2 intake fans (Front Bezel intake) and 2 exhaust (Rear I/O panel), I painted my CPU fan with green UV paint, and spray painted the interior with Blue UV reactive.

I also have one 13" UV cold cathode in the center illuminating the case and the wording on the window. I painted on the Plexi, "Thunder Chicken Pwns" in UV purple and "PurpleWarriors.com" in UV blue. I also got a magnet that says 'turtle' and the PSU support rack.


Later on when I get the funds, I'm going to get all UV reactive fans (I got 4 80 mm Speeze fans now), Upgrade my stuff, make a bottom intake fan (My case has 'legs/stands'), A top exhaust fan, and take the cover off my HD and put some LED's in it with a window.

If anyone is wondering, what I got in my rig:
Code:

        Current                                                          Soon to be         
Pentium 4 1.5 GHz @ 1.9                             AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (will overclock)
GeForce4 MX 440 350/400 @ 410/440     Radeon 9700 PRO (Overclock too)
512 MB SDRAM                                             512 MB DDR400
Chaintech 9BJA                                             Abit NF7-S or Abit NF7
20 GB Fujitsu HD                                          80 GB Seagate HD
48 X CD-RW                                                   Same
350 Watt PSU                                                480 Watt PSU (likely an Antec)

*hopes code tags work*
EDIT: w00t :)

Very very very nice.

I have a premodded case. I took out the floppy drive and put ina hard drive. No clip in front... I'm staring at it from here. I also put a couple of Purple LED fans in it. I love it grandly.

At some point I plan to put an exhaust up top with a gigantic 120mm clear fan illuminated by purple Super Lazer LEDs and throw a UV cold cathode in their. Then cover the fan with a speaker grille instead of a fan cover.

Sounds like a good start.

All we need now are some pictures.
