OK sorry I haven't posted in a while. Got my metal cut, I'm going to go have a look and see how it is.
I went with a brushed aluminum finish for the metal I got. Hopefully it fits well and looks good. Updated pictures to come
Still haven't received my LCD controller board yet. I'll see how that goes.

30 days. 
It's from China, I can't complain.
metal has been cut, but I need to do my daily bike ride. I'll post some pics in an hour or so.
Besides that, it looks GREAT. it workshop did an awesome job, plus it was cheap too. the brushed finish looks deadly next to the black case.
My only issue- because of the way the LCD panel fits (almost perfectly) I can't (nor could the shop) cut the metal to frame the panel. There just wouldn't be enough remaining metal to make it feasible. So, I'm considering to mount the panel on top of the metal, with a hole in the back to feed the wires.
If you have a better idea do tell.

It's really great- and any LCD panel works. They'll program it for you.
Oh, right- results
Couldn't find my DVI to HDMI adapter, so I plugged it into a regular PC. looks fabulous, no bleeding of colours, no fizzing caps etc. The company has said you need a 12v 4A adapter for it- I opted out because I have loads of 12v wallwarts. Turns out it runs perfectly off a 12v 1.5A adapter, so I'm considering to wire the power directly off the PS3 PSU.
