Very nice mate, very nice indeed 
Thanks guys - I did it all with hand tools.
With some care and attention anyone could do a build like this (or better as I messed up a few counter sinks)
It's been half term this week so not been able to do much.
But my little man is out with the grandparents all day today so here an early update
(and something to look at while we all wait for the parvum guys ITX build)
There has been no leaks during the last week of testing so time to put it all together.
A10-5800K / FM2A75 Pro4-M / Gskill Ares
Back plate with some old Danger Den thumb nuts and rods
Washers and locking nuts (again from my bits box)
Aligning the 370 AMD top plate
Washers (bits box again - don't want to scratch the block) with the stock springs and thumb nuts on top.
Looking down - all that work on the cable tidy now pointless
But used the space between the rad and motherboard tray to hide the pcie cables
HDD and SSD.
Lian li cable bracket to help with the snakes nest
Top view with the side panel back on. Fill line needs a better stopper
Loads of room, and the only fan in the build
A few shots of the near finished case (front ports and internal tweeks still to do)
Edit:
Just looking at the outside shots again I didn't align the top correctly, Doh! - will sort that out later.
Furmark running 40c cooler that the stock AMD HSF atm happy days

I have t o say looking at it now, it looks quite messy. Maybe it's cos of all the cutouts but would have been better to get parvum to make you one up properly. Sell the one you have now to cover the costs of the old, thats what i would have done anyway.
good effort though!

The outside looks ok to me...
tho the inside is quite stuffed with cables...
Probably shorted the wires and re-crimp them might be a good idea?
Good effort for the DIY though!!
I would not be able to do it tbh lol
