If he is 12 years old he is in Year 8 in Secondary School then? I wonder if they do Show and Tell in his school, i am 100% sure all his friends would be mighty impressed 
Utterly fantastic read, I followed the original build thread of his PC. I've got to admit, it's a completely admirable thing that these companies are doing to help Connor, yourself and the charity.
Really is heart warming to know that so many companies are willing to put in the effort and give a little back every now and then. Even more fantastic is how behind you OcUK and the Forums are, really nice to see a community of basically complete strangers come together for a good cause and all chip in. Was going to help with Connors build but before you know it all the parts I could offer you already had better of
Best of luck with everything, off to help you on your way.

Ok little update to Antec Case (2nd prize)
The inspiration for the design comes from both a recent event Antec attended (Insomnia), They had huge black and yellow banners above their booths. Its also a bit of a nod to someone that has been most supportive to us throughout.
The work took a little longer than anticipated, Connor couldn’t get a the desired finish on the test panels with the masking tape we had at hand. We used some adhesive plastic, which has 1cm grids on their..which helped a lot!
Antec case pre work
Front panel poppped
Pre masking
as mentioned masking tape wasn't giving Connor a clean edge after painting, Time to make the template.
Template on!
Safety first
Ready to go!
First coat
Second Coat, Next morning
Forgot to grab some photos removing the template
. Was very tense momnet. Connor and little sis slowly removed it and...Success!
The camera angel gives the sense the lines are off, their not.
Literally just a few areas to clean up and its all done!
Next area he plans to work on is the side panel, recuts,sanding and continue the paint theme around the window.
Till next time
