Need help Identifying this case

I was given a huge computer case that was used as a server with locks and everything. I've tried looking everywhere for this case and looked over the case for a model number or anything that is identifiable beside the two stickers at the front of the case. So what the hell is this thing?

The stickers say "based on Gigabyte, gigabyte.com.tw" I looked on that website for this case or a pre-build with the same case and it wasn't there. THere's two other stickers with "Intel inside Xeon" and "Powered by corsair".

Chieftec Dragon DX-01

 

My post originally, before adding the case name to the top:

The powered by Corsair sticker and the Intel sticker are just from the products from these companies, not the case specific.

This is an Antec case for sure, I recognize from the handle on the side panel and the power/reset buttons.

If I had to guess it's from around 2010, probably before since I see a firewire front panel port.

 

I'll try to find this specific case.

 

EDIT: Not Antec apparently. That's a Chieftec Dragon DX-01. Swore it was an Antec case because of the door design, 5,25" design, side panel handle.. Just everything. Apparently not :P

Kind of looks like an Antec SX1030b or Antec PLUS 1080AMG, not exactly the same though. Hope it puts you in the right direction.

The Antec, the Ultra and the Chieftech were all similar cases made by the same manufacturer, Chenming.

I'm glad, as I too immediately thought of Antec, and it appears I wasn't the only one. Glad to know why!
