    Hi all

    my rig has been sitting on my floor with no case for a while now, and ive finally decided to start work on my chieftec.

    Today was mainly stripping and a bit of work

    Anyone who has owned or owns a cheiftec full will notice the middle "divider" that is always in the way is gone, and so is the middle support beam on the left side (the right side one is still there, if someone wants i can highlight this)

    you may notice that the left side now flows better, as sicne the psu is at a different angle it looks... cleaner, i love the look, but am tempted to flip the psu so the wires come out the bottom, but im not sure

    here are some pictures.....

    ill get a full case shot tomorrow, as i stripped the case before taking pics

    ideas for a name please?

    ohh yeah, i wasnt going to post this, but the amazing Leeum convinced me

    So this is for Leeum in a way, so thank him... you are all blessed (lol)

    I prefer the way it now looks, and think i may well mod my tagan as if i do it will now be seen :D plus the wires come out at the bottom which is far better :D
