I give credit to the case because the plastics are not brittle like a lot of cases it’s age but there were some damaged clips, the seller was very accommodating and gave me a partial refund so it worked out in my favor
Wrapped the P1 case? That's actually impressive. I have 2 P1 cases, one in original green and another in white. I've wanted to use the white one as a paint project in the future but you've now got me considering a wrap job.
Glad I could help, I do recommend a quality wrap like 3m because of the tight bends especially the front, also buy twice as much as you need and also a decent hot air gun. Good luck!!
You’re not wrong, they’re slightly modified Chieftec/Chenming/Antec and the subsequent clones. I actually just rescued another case because the seller scrapped the metal chassis and listed the shell on fb marketplace and that same week I also picked up an Antec Performance Plus PlusView II for $20 and the front pegs line up but the middle and bottom clips don’t but with some modding I got it on, the top I had to glue on and the side panels go right on but the screws on the back don’t line up
Wow, a P4T533-C is beastly. The 2.53GHz CPU was a little underpowered, but otherwise it was a great computer already. You should Put these parts into another case like an old Lian Li PC.

I can't believe it arrived in one piece if it was packed like that. I packed a vintage gateway way better than that and FedEx destroyed it.

Hell I packed a powermac g5 better than that and fed ex still smashed the fuck out of it.

Is it just me, or is that an antec tower with Alienware plastic on the front?
Not a dig on the case I still use a 2008 Alienware clone for my main tower, I just recognize that layout from my retro tower

I actually got this at a goodwill, let me know what you think 🤔

always liked that alienware front (I wish there were stl files to 3D print it and adapt to a smaller case ;)
agoniesfury@reddit (OP)
I’ve thought about using my iPhones lidar to do that because I heard there’s an app that does finer details

Oooh, a 9800 XT.

I wish it’s only a pro but works perfectly 🙏🏻
