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

Lol
Cheers dude.
It's the perfect colours for this build

Well things have gone abit slow,due to my business high workload.
But still getting the odd bit done whilst the case floor and side panels are away at the laser cutters.
So done the case feet,very happy with the end result.

Smexy, love it.

Who are you using for laser cutting? The guys I used recently are exceptional value for money, but they have a standing minimum charge which is prohibitive for me to get some smaller things recut for Asteria II.

It's a company called Maxwell Jones Ltd.they sponsored all the acrylic on the Glacier build.
They don't charge me for using the laser cutter and cnc routers.
I just by materials off them,do the drawings,and they slip it in to there production runs
But I do supply IT support to the company.win win situation

** must resist temptation to ask cheeky questions about doing stuff for me **

Awesome win-win

Hi all.
Sorry the update posts have been slow lately,been waiting on watercooling parts and the cnc work on the side panels and chassis floor.
That's all complete now,all case panels have gone to hydrographics and the floor has been sanded to a brushed aluminium effect (clear lacquer to apply)
I'm now cutting the internal acrylic panels,these will be finished this week
A few watercooling parts have arrived,just waiting on the fittings,tubing,Gpu waterblocks.
Here's a few pictures of components that arrived this week

Motherboard and cpu have landed,massive thank you to Asus for getting this to me.
The cpu is the Intel i7-6800k and the motherboard is the Asus Strix X99 Gaming.
The colour theme on the mobo fits the build colours perfectly

Would invest in a better camera photos looking super grainy.

Whilst other parts of the build are drying and waiting for return,I got a few brackets made for the EK-XTOP pumps.
Not a lot of heaight in the basement of AIR480,so had to keep the pumps as low as possible.
So I got 4 corner braces from screwfix (82p) and a few mods later I had the perfect height needed.

Also my 3M PCIE 3.0 Gpu riser cables arrived from Digi-Key.
Thanks guys for getting these to me promptly.
And a huge massive thank you to Nessie Analytics for making the perfect length needed.
A true gent and craftsman.

Well a whole Saturday doing acrylic
AIR480 has been lined out with gloss black acrylic,all holes done and the window reveals have had strips of acrylic welded on.
This will give all the windows a framed look
Now this is done its time for assembly.
