Way things are they will be silly prices forever
until the silly prices become normal.
I've just received my case from Parvum took a while and still waiting for some more panels but the res is brilliantly made.
UPDATE
Ok thought i'd let you know that this project is still alive just moving a little slow due to saving for more Hardware that i need to get, whilst waiting i decided to do a more upto date Sketch-up Render and model of my case, of which im still working on but should almost be ready to cut, its gone through a couple of changes, and will most likely change very slightly even more so.
There will be lots of Updates very soon. So here is where im at in the design stage.

Update
Once again thanks to my sponsor Darkside & Watercool for help in this build. The build is getting very close to showing it off, but ive still to get one or two bits then measure up for the pass-plates, then do lots of sleeving.
Darkside LED's
One thing i will say these are bright.
WATERCOOL.
These blocks come well packaged and the quality of the blocks are top notch. They are also quite shiny, so if the nickel versions are not your cup of tea then they also come in black nickel, or an acetal version
Here you can see that this LED strip connects straight to the connector of the card, it can also work along side your gpu's software to control the light, its a nice design that has no 3mm or 5mm dodes hanging off your mobo
Here you can see the port terminal screws direct to the metal part of the block, and not to the acrylic top, so no chance of it cracking, also the terminal is reversible so you can mount the logo the right way round depending on you build config, normal or inverted.
The pump back has a nice metal back to it and not the usual paper backing sticker.
I also got the Hardware lux edition top as its a little bit cleaner, there is no LED hole but if its something you want then this is available

Just a little update, ive been trying to get some HWLabs Rads for ages, everywhere in the UK were sold out and a shipment was not going to arrive untill end of Feb, Luckly i managed to find somewhere that had the last few so i grabbed them, as they seem to go out of stock very quickly.

Nice custom sleeving 
So ive started to cut the plates and have decided to polish them, not sure this is a good idea cause it has taken me a few hours just to do one so far, and its the smallest of the three. Anyway ive taken a few Pic's in between the sanding stages, although it came out OK, i'm not completly happy with the finish so may go over it again a few times and also may get some 3000 grit just to do a final pass.
I used 600,800,1000,1500 and 2000, plus finished it with Novus fine acrylic scratch remover and acrylic polish.
more updates soon.
Yes its hard work but worth it. Regarding the GTS rads they are tight but do fit.
