    Hi all. Sorry for the large delay. Had a lot on at Parvum so had to just get around to it. First up I removed a little of the black coating on the Asus blocks:

    Then assembled the case with the winning accent colour (Frosted clear):

    Super happy with the frosted clear. Going to look awesome with some LED light.

    Thanks for reading.

    As the great Roy Walker would say: it's good, but it's not right. Slate, slate, slate!

    Ah not everyone could win! Haha. I'd take photos with slate but... I can't actually be bothered.

    'Keep pressing and guessing' ;)

    As above ^^ it is indeed actual rust. We cut the panels in mild steel to then leave them to rust. To stop them further rusting from the desired look we sealed them with a silicone spray.

    More soon! Gotta get Pexon on the cable work :D

    Cheers mucker.

    Thanks storm. Gotta work on the cables for it now.

    That you do. In fact I need to send one to B NEG to work some magic!

    Ah well I'm glad it was a nice moving house surprise haha. Did the move go well?

    Welcome bro!

    Slow project is slowwww :D

    Had to take a while here, just working on this when I get a spare hour etc. Not a huge amount to do now. Just a big metal box with some lights soon!

    [​IMG]

    The CPU cooler was just that tiny bit large. Removed a few strips:

    Going to get the RAM installed and play around with LED lighting in the next update.

    Sorry it was short & sweet.

    Looks like he did. :blah: Which may have buggered them. You can't cut heatpipes.

    But the weathered case looks sooooo nice!
