    As I'm speaking german and english I'm checking online-stores everywhere in the €-zone that have english or german language available. And no, Caseking doesn't sell them, and this is allways my first choice.

    I've made a thread in the modding-section about this, so we don't need to derail your thread further :p

    Blasted looks definately better then sanded. I particularily don't like sanded finishes, because the brushlines usually don't match up throuout the whole case.

    Great work so far Andreas. I wish you luck with the anodizing :thumb:

    You are correct sir! Anodizing is the next thing on the list!

    Thanks man! Also checked your log a while ago. Amazing stuff :thumb:

    Exactly, it is so hard to get even brushlines and at sometime you have to change the direction of the lines. It is almost impossible to not to.

    I really hope the postal office is careful with my package! :sigh:

    Just make sure they do an acid dip before anodizing. Since you used glass beads, there's a possibility for the beats to become embedded into the aluminum and screw up the finish when anodizing.

    Do you have a Swedish mob that can threaten your parcel service?

    I wish! Although, that's not what is holding back the project now. I am studying at university so I have no time to work on the project. So it does not really matter if I get it now or in a few weeks. The next time I can do some work is in easter.

    Although, I guess I could post this picture that I took with my mobile camera when I checked if things fitted before I took it apart for the blasting. Although, the quality is very bad!
