Box Mod Kit

They also have 1300mah kits now - suprise, suprise! Boy they brought them out quick! Almost like someone gave them the plans.
Is there a story about this lol? There have been lots of questionable problems with their service I've read on various groups.

You won't get a better deal than this $110 all in Evolv ERM style anodised case, limited colour choice Silo-950 DNA200 Build Kit Includes everything board, battery, 510, buttons & wire.
I have their box mod (99% clone of the Evolv reference mod) and it's great except one small thing. The holes inside the case (to hold the board) aren't tapped. If you're not aware of that, you'll mount everything and then wonder why the screws aren't grabbing. They probably assumed that the screws would self tap easily but that wasn't the case with me. I had to remove the board and tap each one of the holes. I was terrified the tiny screw would break inside the hole, rending the mod useless and one almost did. For the price I paid (50 bucks plus shipping) I expected a zero issue case.

You can have the VT200 case for much less in the UK.

My two cents

Yep, I've never seen that site before & that looks absolutely perfect for my first "build" How's the quality of the kit? They don't mention much including dimensions but I assume minor filing & fitting plus some soldering is all that's required?

Here's another option for you
Hcigar VT200 body
Hcigar VT200 LiPo battery v2
Everything you need except an XT30 connector, Pretty easy to get at just about any hobby shop
Cigreen is base in Ireland mite be a better fit for Shipping to UK :)
I built 2 of these, everything fits together perfectly, It's quite a nice mod Also :)

I've built 3 and you are right about the board mount holes I tap them to M1.6 and the back of the buttons need a lot of metal ground off. The price is crazy low for what you get board, battery, wiring and an Evolv inspired 510. Over here no one is selling decent 510s and DNA200 are £54 + shipping.

custom-made coming out of russia ;) i believe he deals just through fb

Boooo, I'm not on FB & don't know the secret handshake. Oh well, pretty mods though. Modcrate is looking better & better even though almost everything is "available for pre-order" only.

I was thinking the same exact thing about color choice but I do have an orange Sunbox that would match that Silo rather well, even have a couple of drip tips for that all matchy matchy look.
You could certainly do worse than the Orange one. Everything you need except an XT30 set
