For the screw misalignment, I often find Lian Lis are like that, especially if the IO shield has foam on it, rather than a traditional stamped one.
Just keep inserting and tightening the screws, and she'll straighten right up.

Definately!

Spray the IO shield plate or I have no idea how much powder coating costs?

I could probably cut out a sticker in black vinyl that would cover the IO plate up a treat.
I'll have a play tomorrow and drop one into OcUK next time I'm in (over the weekend most likely) if you like?

Just wondering why did you choose the Apache Black fans? Any reason?
That sounds great, if you don't mind doing it that would be appreciated.
They are good fans, they do not light up, and they are black to match the rest of the components.

here's a first test in blue (forgot to bring my roll of black vinyl to work!):
(Obviously my IO plate isn't for that board)
EDIT:
Just to show a plate done properly, here's my spare IO plate properly cut, mounted to the board.

Actually I rather like the silver on the M/B tray and I/O mount, it gives a good contrast to the motherboard. Some Lian Li cases/colour schemes look good with black internals, but on a subtle build like this (pretty much everything is black or dark grey), I think the silver sets it off nicely.

you should cut a hole in the bottom of the case for the PSU to suck air in the bottom and blow out the front, use a little foam to seal around the intake.

looking good 5UB

Looks great.
Did you swap the directions of the fans around due to the style of the case?
I was thinking about doing the same with my fractal XL as the intakes have to suck air through the holes down the side, similar to the Lian. Especially now that my H50 is installed too as an intake with push/pull.
