Looks amazing, keep it up can't wait to see the next update!
Yes I've been worrying about that also, the issue is I can't just bore a hole through into the rear chamber as the power supply will be there. We'll just have to see what I come up with !
Thanks for all the other comments folks, I really enjoy the feedback. Slow going I know but I want to really make it as well as my skills allow.
So some things arrived in the post also yesterday, I know my delivery guy so well now I think he'll be coming round for Xmas dinner !
Anyway here are some pics, sorry about the poor lighting in my house can be difficult to get a good image. Plus outside its very grey and dull this winter !
So the case fans arrived
Something looking for the midas touch
SSD (not that I need to tell you guys)
Shiny contacts !
A special edition just for Project: Primo Midas (Thanks Bill)
Something else, off topic but you guys will love it !
Its gorgeous, although it needs a wee polish I think (Yes its etched "Merry Xmas")

MSI keyboard looks rather nice
@ Uncle Petey,
Been looking at the long run issue mate. At the far left hand edge of of the case (below the motherboard is a perfectly positioned cut-out, dunno if you can see it in previous pics. Well I can fit the hose through it and there is a handy cut-out in the back end of the optical bay. It would need a bit of jigging around at the back so that the side panel can fit back on ok, would just need to rearrange the cabling.
The end result will be a very short outlet from the rad disappearing into the back of the case. Looks like the best option tbh.

Sounds like a plan!

Thanks, I'm trying to upload some new images to show you but imgur website wont load up from my iMac for some reason.
I have an issue though, a drain connection ! There is next to no room in the bottom rad at the front end to get a fitting in. Not sure how to go about it. Seeing as its my first WC build I kinda forgot to allow for that. A 360 rad would have been fine as it would have left plenty space.
Any advice lads?

This is Sick love the Gold/Black Vinyl
I used "Uni Coloured Paint Marker Oil Based Opaque Pen" size fine (PX-21) and medium (PX-20). You can get in many colours including white. There is a super fine size (PX-203) which might have been handy for some of the intricate areas.
Still having trouble with imgur, the site just refuses to load for me can't understand it
The Sli bridge hasn't come out well tbh, if I could upload one of my close up pics you can see ridges in the paint, it dries quite quickly and if you go over it like a second time it leaves a very uneven finish. I've found that you need to move it one continuous movement as when you lift the pen off the surface it leaves a blob, unless you lift off at the very edge of the item you are covering. I need to give it a wet/dry rub down again and try again

Those little details make a big difference in your build, looking good

I must admit, it is shaping up to look rather nice indeed!
Finally got to upload some pics of where the hose passes into back of the case.
With the hose and some close-ups of the cards which had some more gold added. Last img shows the cut out I did to make the cable cover fit with the two cards.
