1. some weeks ago i have helped to make a proper frontdesign
2. then, some time ago, i paid for my front panel, first GB round
3. now i am still waiting for the frontpanel i paid for
i between i got the GB-PCB and a GB-parts-kit and my O2 is already in service for about maybe two weeks.
did i miss the first GB delivery?

No, yours should be on the way with everyone else's. US buyers are starting to receive theirs, since Flynhawaiian shipped them out from California. It is just taking time to get through the mail system, and with Christmas time upon us, there will be delays. I'm still waiting for mine as well, but like you, I have a border to deal with...
I doubt that there are any tracking numbers to be had either, to keep the costs down.
Panels arrived
The 2 panels I ordered arrived yesterday in fine shape. They look good and definitely add a very polished touch to the O2 amp. Thanks to everyone who did all the heavy lifting to make this GB possible - especially Flynhawaiian!
BTW, I decided simply to mount the front panel with the Torx head screws supplied with the B2 box. It's a little industrial looking, but it's OK with me, at least for now.
Happy holidays, everyone!

Very happy right now...

My panel arrived in yesterday's mail...definitely worth the wait. A big thanks to Flynhawaiian.
Received mine yesterday. So nice to finally have it finished! Another big thank-you to Flynhawaiian.
Postscript on mounting panel hardware
I used a blue B2 box for my first unit, but had not investigated the black B2, which I'd ordered for a second unit. The blue box comes with chrome-finish fasteners. Yesterday, I checked out the black box, and discovered that the included fasteners are all anodized black. This solves the issue of having black screws for the front panel. Shadow419 seems already to have discovered this, as shown in the very nice picture of his unit. I decided to split the black Torx head screws between my two units for the front panel and use the silver ones for the back panels...all is well.
Another tip I'd offer is to drive in one of the silver mounting screws in all the mounting holes before mounting the panels. This effectively "taps" the holes and makes it much easier to turn in the black screws, thus minimizing the chance of nicking the finish on the screw head.

Received my panels yesterday and it looks great. Thanks Flynhawaiian for your hard work.

Hi Shadow,
Looks awesome! Where did you buy the chassis? It matches really well with the front panel.

I think Shadow's inside picture turned out a bit better than mine. I don't like to take inside pictures. I believe Shadow's case / cabinet is the same as mine - anodized silver aluminum. It's harder to see the contrast in the picture, though.
Shadow has a nice knob, too. 😱 Wait! That doesn't sound right. 😀
Seriously, though, the brushed aluminum turner thingy for the volume looks spectacular! Mine is just of the "packaged" variety that I think was shipped as part of the package to the person who built mine.
Got my panels. They look great. I'm in for the future ODA panels. =)
This means I'll have 3 O2s, the portable, the quasi desktop version and the full on desktop version. I have a problem. =P
Thanks for the work Flyin and Mr Slim, enjoy your brew, bud, whatever. 😉
