Glad to hear
Just take it easy and don't do anything stupid 
I'm sure most people have the patience to wait for your updates. For you we'll wait a thousand months!.... Okay maybe not a thousand. But a long time for sure

Some progress but not of the great kind.....
I made the replacement backpanel and have it fitted,unfortunately I cant go R-ATX like i first wanted,there is simply not enough room.
So it back to square one.
No bad thing as now i get to use the pedestal and have a LOT more room to do stuff.
As you can see here,its so tight,I could 'force' it in but it would just look cramped...
No fan could be installed there and the rad would be on the floor.squashed right in with no room to work on it other than by removing the backpanel.
So,I need to get some paint on soon so it can start the cure now for mop polishing in 3 months time.
Also need to get over to the PARVUM guys for a day of mill action for the res.....
All in all,a bad month...broke finger,a small ding in my car and now my lovely plan for this build has gone slightly south.
Reminds me,I must play the Lottery......

Im excited!
My paint has arrived!
Off to the spray booth this weekend for some splashing!!
And a nice little touch up gun,there is not enough flat surface area for my full size and this is a great little gun for feathering......as will be explained tomorrow when i video it in action.
If i told you that these 2 liters of paint cost more than the case (not including shipping)...would you believe me?
Yup,it did.
I need to get this started now,before i start with hardware,so the airbrush work can set before i clearcoat,this is all time consuming so its getting done first
Got some nice 2 component clear coat coming for this,its going to be.....MmmmMMMMMMmmmmmMMMMMMmmmmmMMMMMMMmmmmMMMMmmmmmmm........*

Paint day!
Time to break out the trusty rusty...24ltr tank,all you need to spraying cases.
The amount of panels for a Caselabs becomes apparent when its all laid out.
And the first few coats of paint are done.
Drying in the sunshine.
Not bad,will buff up nicely.
And the frame all back together.
Doors/Panels have had the base coat done,next weekend they get the ICE FX and Spectra coat top coat.
You get to see what i have in mind then!
Maybe some shots with the board in....after dinner i think.
MNPC case feet that i won for Bittechs MOTM

i think the point of mini-itx is lost somewhere.....
But go on, me like
It the watercooling that requires the case,not the board size.
