OK. Picture time woot. These are the first actual production samples. As CoolerMeister pointed out, the "grain" or brushed pattern in the silver and the black anodized versions is running left to right, but it will run up and down in the final ones--these were just to verify the fit etc before the production run.
What you can almost start to get from the pictures is that the machined aluminum face plates have about a half inch of depth...it just looks amazing in person because you see that depth in the basins...it is not the typical flat faced acrylic reservoir with a thin "2D" face plate screwed on.
The finishes to start will be brushed and anodized silver and black and a polished aluminum.
The silver colors looked awesome with a blue fluid but no pics as the batteries in Brian's camera died =(
Also, the clear polycarbonate plugs that ship with the T3 are smaller and less obvious and look better IMHO. Brian has also asked me to design a custom metal plug that is smaller and uses a smaller wrench. Will post pics of those when they show up.
The white line you see on the edge is light coming through from the T3 and obviously would not be there when installed in your case.
Also, I forgot to mention but it looks like the price will be under $30 USD which for a faceplate machined from a solid 1/2" thick chunk of aluminum is very reasonable in my book.
And yes Shazza...if you REALLY REALLY want one anodized pink, I will see if they can make one just for you.
