UPDATE2


Well today got interesting,time to see how steady my hands are when doing fine cuts.
A few little marks,but nothing a sand and a blob of body filler will sort out.
That's the 2 front windows cut and the side panel windows.
Little bit of tidying up,but starting to look like the vision in my head now.
Enjoy......

Just bits of sanding to do now and I can weld the 2 case halves together.

Yes 2 EK 240 rads are going in the basement,a new aluminium basement floor is being made,with the fan holes and a couple of air vents.

AIR480 case feet have finally arrived.
Very happy with the finish,I will be running a gloss orange stripe in each groove.
Happy chappy.
The new case floor is away at the laser cutters as well.

Well managed to get the case panels done ready for hydro graphics.
Holes filled that are not needed.
And a good sand all over.
The new aluminium floor is still at the laser guru's, but looking fantastic.
Would like to say a massive thank you to Mayhems Solutions for supporting the fluids for AIR480.
Pictures of fluids coming soon.

never too keen on the pastel range, but that orange does look epic. Of course, if you can get his orangeness davido_labido to give you a thumbs up you know you're onto a winner.

In fact, I'm surprised he didn't show up the second "orange" was uttered :p
