Thanks all 
Another small update.
Had time to sort the window to follow my original black/red design.
Black tint and Dark Red tint 3mm acrylic.
Missus had a bit of an accident, nothing serious, so i can't do anything too noisy at the moment hence the brief posts.
Should be back to normal next week,
Cheers,
Mark

Get well soon Mrs Bristol
Update time
As i've been on nursemaid duties looking after the missus, i've been confined to desktop mods - braiding and soldering etc..
Wasn't a great fan of the floppy bezel cover on the front of the case ( does anyone still use them ? )
The easy option would have been a fan controller or card reader to plug the space, but i wanted something subtle that kept the front smooth.
All the way from China, via an auction site, a simple USB HD44780 display
As with 99% of these, they are a blue display
Managed to find a Red on Black screen , so just needed to solder the screen to the USB circuit board
Then out with the hacksaw, ansd some dark tint acrylic to make the fascia
And voila ;

The colour i wanted for the water loop was a deep red, or blood red.
So i contacted someone who clearly ( i'm sure there's a joke there ! ) knows his stuff when it comes to dyes - Mayhem Dyes.
Mick / mayhem was a great help and very kindly agreed to sponsor me what was needed.
I've spoilt the surprise now, but guess what's in the box ?
Still wandering ?
A rainbow of liquid goodness
Enough dyes for this build, and plenty more to experiment with, top stuff
Lets meet the team
Should have some fun mixing them at the weekend, and fitting the water cooling.
Back soon ( barring accidents
)Cheers,
Mark

Only just saw this thread and have to say ... Superb work Mark !

Looking great, although if you went for deep purple you would have to rename the build to "smoked.. and on water"

I see you are using those phenoptix leds again. Quick question do you know if it is possible to get themto flash on and off or to have a kind of strobe effect?
Cheers guys, thanks for the comments
Time for a bit of an update
Made a small acrylic ' lens' for the Asus mobo logo ( which used to illuminate in a whitish blue colour when powered up ), keeps it in keeping with the colour scheme.
Now then fun part, fitting the watercooling ( again ! )

After playing with the dyes kindly sponsored by Mayhem Dyes, i was very pleased to come up with exactly the colour i wanted
I hope the pictures do the shade of red justice.
(ignore the white tube, thats me filling the reservoir)
Northbridge to CPU is always a tight bend, so this short length eliminates the problem.
