Nixie clock's finished

Nixie clock update
I tried several case options for the clock with varying degrees of suitability; managed to snag a couple of enclosures, polished them up but never thought they were truly worthy of the project.
I revisited the site I bought the clock from and noticed they now sell an aluminium case specifically designed for my clock.
This is the site, check it out - http://www.pvelectronics.co.uk/index.php

Here's the case, image from above website
Took the plunge and bought one, what a piece of work it is - a 3lb. CNC machined chunk of billet 6082 alloy highly polished to a mirror finish. £55 is expensive on the face of it but a no-brainer if you want the project to look professional and properly finished - which it does, and then some!
Sexy, no?
Looks cool in the dark
Awesomely geek-tastic
