And the airbrush stencil has arrived!

Stencil Warehouse turned these around in a day and were cheap,I recommend if anyone is looking for that kind of service.
So the IO plate on the front needed to be Spectracoated too.

Later today will be spent fitting the rads and fans in place and start looking at the tubing runs in the ped,the drain needs fitting thru the ped endpanel and I need to look at the wiring loom for the fans and the screen.


......I cant stop looking at the screen,it looks like it was made for it in that pedestal.
 
I like how this ITX build ends up being bigger than most ATX cases. There's so much going on though, it's epic anyway ;)
 
Did some more pictures,trying various methods....Lowfat does awesome camera work,I want his skills so badly...
Rads fitted and dressed up in lovely Bitspower!

I used the Gelid for the SB and CPU,its a nice paste that performs well...still got my trusty MX2 as a standby tho.

Some shots of the VRM section and the SB.

This wasnt the chore i thought i might be,sometimes blocks require you to have the 3 hands,this wasnt too bad at all. One thing i would of liked is a full backplate for this block,just to spread the load a little,the screws are not wide headed and the cooler holes are wide. Maybe I should get one machined......

The board looks mint now,looking forward to the testing!

Now im looking to make a cover,a la Rampage style,covering the whole rear I/O. That should tidy that whole silver thing ASUS have going on.
 
Looking pretty swish dude :) I love that entire motherboard block idea :)

looking good there

Thanks,Bitspower have done a few full cover blocks for ITX now.

Playing with the camera today...

I still suck at it...


SSD in.....

Noticed a nice little touch with the enterprise drives....

It has a nice machined edge on it,once i ditch the stickers this will look nice with the flat top being engraved perhaps,rather than the painted cover I had planned....

MOAR block!

Res has been finalized..so im off to Justin and Shaun at PARVUM this weekend for some acrylic action,I get to see their monster in action!

Now the res fills 6 bays! Plus the AC XT in the very top to fill it out.
