Thanks man, but my case has no right to be in the same thread as yours.

Good show.

That's a lot of work you have put into that thing.

BooyaAchieved · Mar 31, 2004

DDKnight, with all those lights underneath, it looks like your case is going to blast off! Awesome case though.

foofighter06 · Jan 4, 2005

Most recent.

Other real Antec I have.

screamingacorn · Jan 11, 2005

Wow, you sure dug this one up. Nice case.

I'm definatly gonna get you guys a couple of shots of my 'Ming 602A. Man I love this case!

CCUABIDExORxDIE · Jan 31, 2005

hey foofighter06, i see you have the same otehr case as me, the raidmax visible in the pictures of your antec case. how was the change from that case to a chenming case cause im gonna probably make the change to a nice server case from Chenming or chieftec.

so_cal_forever · Jan 31, 2005

Here they are. Sorry for the crappy pics and the improper set-up of my speakers (gotta move my desk so I can mount them.)

Front case (damn glare at top, sorry):

Side view (I'll have an improved one later):

Desk view:

doesn't that defeat the idea of surround sound?

iownyou14 · Jan 31, 2005

LoL, that isnt surround. Ah well.

Well, I won the raidmax at a lan party and really like it. The exhaust on the case needed some work, but the paint was sweet. I really like my Antec and Antec clones though; they are a classic case.

Here is a pic from a build I recently completed. The wire management wasn't done and I don't have any newer pictures.... sorry, but you all get the idea.

ericlikeseatin · Mar 29, 2005

did you paint the drive cages yourself? i love that color blue!

I did. The blue is Dupli-Color Metalcast. Here is the Worklog which details all the trials and tribulations I had trying to get this to look just right. It was my first attempt at doing this....

Please let me know what you think. I have to put up another pic there now that I have cleaned up the cables.

Here's a better shot of the blue interior....

BeeIzebub · Mar 29, 2005

I'm one of the few that really modded their case. Cmon guys GET MODDING! fanbus's dont count! unless you made it yourself.

Before:

AFTER: (door is getting finished soon, also, if you can tell in the pictures, the case and monitor have a mirror finish, but the camera doesnt show it well)

dayamdave · Mar 30, 2005

very tempted to paint mine glossy silver

It looks pretty darn good the way it is. Paint the inside of the case--maybe Dupli-Color Metalcast, but just the ground coat so it looks silver anodized. That would look great with your blue case.

dayamdave · Mar 30, 2005

I just wanted it silver to match the powerbook, haha. Oh well, I'm very tempted to buy a Praetorian and leave this as an aquarium.

v8_h8r · Apr 7, 2005

Here is mine i got it almost finished now. the white drive IS replaced with a black DL DVD BURNER and all i need is to mod the HD and put in the top and mod the top of the cdrw on the top and get new fangrills for the side

What is that pile of horizontal thing going in parallel w/ those metal panel at the left?

Don't tell me it is a pile of PCI slot. I can see there is a cooling fan, but what is the rest of it?
