Here you go!

Update #15



Few things arrived from modelfixings.co.uk, my source of fixings. UK guys, check them out they have every single kind of nut and bolt, including all the rare black oxide ones: button, cap, countersunk etc all in hex fittings. They have a really resistant oxide coating too and very reasonable.



6/32 tap. It has taken me 2 months to track one of these down in the UK for a price less than £20. In the US you can buy them off the shelf in any major store, in here it is like a needle in a haystack! 2.8mm drill bit to accompany it.



Tapping the motherboard for mobo standoffs



Screwed in. The tap is amazingly well made, it works perfectly and the holes are excellent.



More things from modelfixings. 20mm M4 Button Hex Black Oxide Machine Screw! Long enough name?



10mm M3 Button Hex Black Oxide Machine Screw



20mm M3 Cap Hex Black Oxide Machi.... *yawn*



Replaced the silver phillips screws with black ones. I plan to have all the screws in the case black.



Replaced the block ones. I will do the ones holding the block together one i get the right size hex caps.



Motherboard test mount! Absolutely spot on. Very pleased with my CNC work!



Perfect distance back from the edge to allow PCI-E cards to fit properly



I have another 2 boxes full of machine screws and fittings



The fugly silver screws will be replaced, but i thought i would show how it fits and how close the rad is to the side!



The other side, showing the fan, rad, top and grill.



Test fitted PSU. Looks absolutely amazing in person! You can see the GPU, RAM and chipset block there too.



CPU 4pin connector.



Another shot of the 24pin connector and RAM.

Lastly i would like to introduce another sponsor, WatercoolingUK!



They will be providing me with metal laser cutting and powdercoating services! Massive props to marcus for putting up with me!
