Project Black and White Dragon.

What markatomic said really, but as a graphics cards usually the loudest part of any system and yours is passive you prob wont notice it. I went from passive 6600gt to a standard 7900GS and its so noisy compared to my old card and thats when the side is on! ;(
 
There's acrylic there aswell like so the layer is like this:

Outside case
side panel
acrylic
mesh
inside case

But yea,there will only be 6 fans, 1 from PSU, one from HSF, two intake, two exhaust.

Thanks for all the comments guys, it's really appreciated :)
 
Hmm, so your putting acrylic/perspex behind the mesh? That should help with the noise then :)

People were thinking you were literally having the mesh....meaning lots of noise, and lots of dust :P

Looks awesome so far man, keep it up.
 
Leveled out the cut on the back of the case today where this will go:

I know the holes aren't even, but there not going to be noticable.

Haha! Not much today, started leveling out the cuts on the windowed side panel but I've ran out of dremel discs and masking tape. And I don't just want to do it by eye.

Not sure when I can prime the rest of the panels, it's supposed to be raining for the next few days :(
 
No pics for the moment, need to get some more batterys, filling in the front with loctite bodyfiller today, waiting for the first bit to dry. If you know the front panel of a chieftec dragon i'm filling in the door part at the moment in these places:

The strip which goes around the inside, the case badge area and the lock hole.
 
Just been applying primer to the top and bottom panels, ran out so no more of that today! Also it's getting quite windy so that's no good either!

****ing it down in june, who would have guessed :p I'll try and get some wet sanding done to the panel I filled yesturday to see how that turned out, though it doesn't seem rock hard like I would have thought. It's slightly bouncy.
 
OK, I get it, you people won't comment in a thread unless it has pictures, i'll go get some batteries!

Been painting this morning, primer on the top and bottom panels and spraying the 5.25 inch bay cage (white). Going to do some sanding on the door later on.
 
Fine! :p

First the door:

Front filled and sanded down:
