After seeing this build I'm more than tempted to do a case out of aircraft grade 5052 or 7075 aluminium alloy with a style to match and tribute the Avro Lancaster. Any ideas on how I'd go about getting some sponsorship for this build?

Sounds interesting indeed! It's really hard, my only advice is to do the best work you can and start a nice project. High quality photos are essential. A good quality SLR camera, a cheap white paper back drop and quality work are all good places. Sometimes completing a really nice project without any sponsorship is a good starting point as it helps to build a portfolio of work!

In some cases I see big hardware companies contact people really soon into a build if they like what they see. I suppose for us it's slightly different as we always offer work in exchange for parts that we get.

sponsorship happens when you have a long track record of mods.

I have had board and cooling sponsors in the past but only off the back of my previous work.

once you have something to show to a manufacturer, then they may consider dealing with you. just asking them for free stuff for your first mod is nearly always going to result in no response.

as Parvum have said above, it is different for them as they are a company and their portfolio is a showcase for what they are doing with the donated hardware.
 
Finished - Final photos & iSeries!

To finish I would just like to thank everyone who has followed, commented, criticized and advised! Without all you guys what would be the point! It pushes us to keep showing you what we do here and what can be done with a Parvum case.

Keep your eyes out for our first ever E-ATX rig. The project log will be up very soon and in turn be a working prototype as I build!

Finally if you will be at the iSeries summer LAN from this Thursday Shaun and I will be there with a group of friends and case builders. We will be attending as exhibitors but with gamer seats - 'H2-A3 - H2-A10'. We will have this ITX build, the Onwards build and possibly a little look at a build we have done for a customer featuring a lovely Titan and lots of watercooling!

Thanks again all!
 
@Parvum - have you guys considered adding an optical bay to your micro atx case??

I'm still not ready to get rid of mine, but your cases do look really cool. Are you going to experiment with different styles as well? Or versions with room for bigger fans and rads?

Or a hardcore version made with flight case corners etc??
