AIR480 case feet have finally arrived.
Very happy with the finish,I will be running a gloss orange stripe in each groove.
Happy chappy.

Cool ! they look beefy enough to hold all of that weight. Shouldn't you fit two in the centre to support the weight though?

Edit. Or are you going to run it vertically?

Well managed to get the case panels done ready for hydro graphics.
Holes filled that are not needed.
And a good sand all over.
The new aluminium floor is still at the laser guru's, but looking fantastic.
Would like to say a massive thank you to Mayhems Solutions for supporting the fluids for AIR480.
Pictures of fluids coming soon.

I see you're using hardline, so shouldn't do that, but just a fair warning, it's SUPER flakey

I've used it before and not had an issue

Yeah I think it's better lately, I'm not sure if that's because they changed the formula or simply because people are generally geared more to rigid tubing these days.. but yeah, I get flashbacks whenever I see the orange pastels. :(
 
Update 6

Well things have gone abit slow,due to my business high workload.
But still getting the odd bit done whilst the case floor and side panels are away at the laser cutters.
So done the case feet,very happy with the end result.

Hi all.
Sorry the update posts have been slow lately,been waiting on watercooling parts and the cnc work on the side panels and chassis floor.
That's all complete now,all case panels have gone to hydrographics and the floor has been sanded to a brushed aluminium effect (clear lacquer to apply)
I'm now cutting the internal acrylic panels,these will be finished this week
A few watercooling parts have arrived,just waiting on the fittings,tubing,Gpu waterblocks.
Here's a few pictures of components that arrived this week

Update 10

Whilst other parts of the build are drying and waiting for return,I got a few brackets made for the EK-XTOP pumps.
Not a lot of heaight in the basement of AIR480,so had to keep the pumps as low as possible.
So I got 4 corner braces from screwfix (82p) and a few mods later I had the perfect height needed.

Also my 3M PCIE 3.0 Gpu riser cables arrived from Digi-Key.
Thanks guys for getting these to me promptly.
And a huge massive thank you to Nessie Analytics for making the perfect length needed.
A true gent and craftsman.
