I still don't understand how an extender will help with closeness of the ports when they are the same diameter as the compression fittings, what am I missing?

Not sure where you are getting that info from. most extenders are considerably
narrower than the outside diameter of compression fittings. My koolance
extenders are almost half the diameter of my koolance and monsoon
compression fittings, only slightly wider than those barb fittings Nate
listed, pretty much a given that all extenders will work unless they are
rediculously wide ones which I have never seen.
They will have the same G 1/4 thread but the outside diameter is
no way near as wide as compression fittings.
They will work just fine.

My memory have failed me pretty bad mate. I haven't touch a watercooling build in quite a while and totally forgot about sizes and other stuff about fittings. I took a look at my remaining parts that I have laying around and could see I was wrong, sorry for my impertinence and ignorance.

Nate, You Have PM.
 

Cut the blanks:


 


 
A bit more machining & finishing to do before the batch is completed.

Can you still use the switch in the first pcie slot?

Looks very tight and with the card covering it from above it doesn't look like you'd be able to remove the card once it's been put in and locked.

A small flat tipped screw driver will fit in there just fine. 

But that's my point. I can't get to that switch when the card is in from the top as the backplate covers it. So you need to be able to switch it from the side if that makes sense. But it looks like the block it the same height which means I won't be able to reach the switch.

I can file a little of the delrin around the pci-e clip if you like?
Should be able to shave enough off so you can get in there with a small
screwdriver ;-)
I will need to do that on mine also.

Looking great Nate!

Sounds good mate. Cheers.

Awesome work Nate, really happy with how they turned out. Looks phenomenal!

Can you take a picture of the backplate installed?

Nate, can you do me a favor and take a pic looking directly down at the face of the delrin top
so I can do a mock up of the engraving?
 
Thanks mate
