Ok after a couple of busy weeks things have started to move a little bit quicker.
First off i'd like to thank MAYHEMS for the little parcel they sent me.

So the last few days ive been polishing the acrylic Reservoirs, now this is not an easy task as ive spent countless hours sanding them up plus re going over the last one i did as i was not happy with how it turned out, anyway thats all finished now. A little tip for those that also want to do this as i done this all by hand no little gadgets to help, once you have finished polishing and buffing and you need to get the polishing residue off, if you use distilled water instead of tap water, when it drys this will dry without leaving streaks or smudges, this is also good for cleaning windows and the likes of car windscreens, plus your hardline tubing after you have cut and chamfered the edges, i just use a small tray filled up with distilled.
Now i just need to tap the screw holes and make up some o-rings and put them together with their lids.

Also this is what Mayhems sent me, i think i have enough dye to last a life time. They also sent me their Havoc 240mm Rad, I wont be using this in this build but i might in a future build, its a nice looking Rad and if you check out the performance online, it is up there with the Best

looking good! might have to give acrylic polish a go, got a Parvum case with 70% clear acrylic so would be nice to have it shiny :D

You shouldnt need to polish it , i only done mine to take the tool marks out, and where it was faced off it was a dull matte finish, its taken me about 10 hours to get it looking this clear. :)

UPDATE

Spent today putting the Reservoirs and Pass-plate together, there looking quite nice after many hours polishing the tool marks out.I also had to re-do one of the o-rings as i made the previous one abit short and it was a pain to put in. I have also gone for some nice stainless steel screws which i hope will make the plates stand out a little bit,they were expensive but worth it as they are of a nice quality grade A4 , also im cleaning the case up, and making final checks before any Pic's go up.

UPDATE

So had some long awaited Hardware turn-up. A Samsung M.2 which meant i could start to piece my motherboard together. All was going well until...............

Until after this image i took of the motherboard tray, with the Aquaero mounted into position. I just had a sneaky feeling that the cables that connect the power and fans up were going to be tight in the back in between the motherboard tray and the PSU panel...................and they were by quite a few millimetre's..........." School-boy error for not checking measurements "
So after a few choice words ,i went about thinking how i can solve this. One option was to re-cut the motherboard tray and just take the screen off and use it like an LT Model
or come up with some sort of design for it to fit, with this in mind a decided to wait until the morning and have a think about it as it was already 1am.

So with the help of Shaun, we got about banging our heads together to resolve this issue. This is where Shaun who is our Top Designer and inlay-specialist at Parvum came up with a design that might just work,
and after working in the warehouse of which was 90 degree's and a hiccup with the CNC Machine we produced this..............................

Update

I've had a rather busy week with the build, i've tried to take some pics as i was going along but unfortunately my SD card got corrupted as the plastic by the pins broke off and i just couldnt get it to read, now i had a lot of photo's on them which is a shame, but luckly i had enough on another one to sort out an update.

First job of the day was to sort the block out for the GPU,
then tube that up, so i can get ready for putting the top panel res on and sorting the wiring out. Then i can visual what and where the wire runs are going to be.

So anyway here is a few pics of the weeks work.
