I was sad to not see any blocks available when the classy and a 5960x is due to show up Friday.  This is precisely why I started bolting my boards flat to a old steel 1960's typing table in the open air.  How much for the classy blocks? I may have to jump on the Natewagon.

Hey Nateman was wondering if I could be put down for a set of the micro blocks,
Preferably acrylic or plexi for the VRM and acetal for the chipset if that's an option, got the supremacy with acrylic on the CPU so would like to match there but just EK acetal on the 980 SC, LAN rig (Corsair 350D) so you can't see the underside of the GPU (especially once the bank balance goes back up and I grab a second card for it)
 
Really happy to see that someone out there is making blocks for the Evga boards, just switched over to Evga and was the only thing that I was hesitant about.
 
Thanks

I'm running two 780 hydro coppers, so I could be a lab rat with those.  Hopefully it'll work, I've pulled the impossible before with the early EK full-board block on my E762 classy board.

Sorry for not visiting here in a while, been keeping busy with the Stinger blocks.  Delrin/Acetal is always the best choice for tops.  Acrylic cracks too easily.

No problem, I got the board running with my current blocks just playing with accessories, if Delrin is available in a clear option that would work for me, if not both acetal is also fine, thanks for all the hard work getting these things together

Delrin doesn't come in clear, only in 3 colors. Black, brown, and white.

The clear plastics are usually harder, so they have a tendency to crack.  Plastics like Delrin has more of a tendency to bend, so it gives.  So it doesnt crack.
 
I never use Acrylic, I use Polycarbonates if I HAVE to make something clear.  They are more expensive than delrin, but it doesn't machine as pretty as the others.

Agreed, I have 2 of his blocks, and even a little custom work, and zero complaints, his blocks are excellent, look good and easy to install.
 
Can't go wrong with the BlockMan.
