Thank you! More updates are on the way, JR23 is back down tomorrow to cut another set of accents for this and then it will be ready for tubing.

It could happen but the surface finish of Acetal is undoubtedly inferior to acrylic, such is that nature of an engineering grade plastic, this piece at least didn't turn up with any protective backing. It's also not readily available in 5mm sheets meaning we would have to adapt drawings a little to accommodate. The plate bought for SENESCENTIS was 12mm although it actually came as 13.3mm, perhaps in reality they were aiming for 1/2". It worked out great for this but that kind of thing could really mess with a production case. Finding acrylic in anything other than polished clear above 5mm is a real challenge hence why we gave acetal a shot.

Currently without cables, tubing or coolant it weighs just over 18kg. It's not crazy heavy for a PC but it's ridiculous for it's size.

Wow 18kg?! You reckon 8Pack could curl that?

Just a little update on SENESCENTIS to keep you all up to date, even in the extreme heat! All of the holes have now been tapped in the reservoir pass through plate so it's ready for action.

Also the accents were cut, this time from gloss black to match the acetal parts, clear frosted just didn't work out quite right.

So with all the holes tapped and the accents cut a pair of o-rings were all that was needed to complete the reservoir.

Time for Joe to start fabricating the steel tubing!
