I see you picked up that other GX2 Awall, nice.

Yep, had a couple earlier. Never used them. Sold them. Still wanted one to bench.

Yep same here, traded a mouse plus cash to get it. I liked the look of the XFX one better though.

So Nate, I have one of the 4 Way SLI EK blocks, it's one of the first gen ones with a clearance issue for video cards. My dad and I were thinking of trying a router with a carbide bit on it to take the acetal down enough for it to work. Our concern is that too low a speed may break it, but too high and we'll melt it. What would you recommend?

 
I would love to see how you set the machine up.  Perhaps a router table?  routers generally go around 30,000 rpm which is kind of "ludicrous speed".  5K will work great.  If you don't care what the block looks like (deduced by you wanting to use a wood cutting router) then why not just lap the top of the block.  Might come out nicer.  Get a slab of glass, a sheet of sandpaper, throw your favorite movie on and go to work.  MUCH safer then the router idea.
 
Its hard to say how much it costs but there in the thousands.  I paid probably more, but the knowledge gained building the CNC machine from scratch pays more dividends then the machine you just built. 
 
Sorry for the late reply.  PM me for faster response times or just e-mail me.

Hells and Halo, i have a 50L dewar i've actually been thinking of selling. Vacuum is good on it. Hit me up with a PM if either of you are interested. I'd give either of you guys a really nice price. Maybe even a partial trade if you guys have anything you might want to get rid of too.
 
Halo, you're in FL, right? Hells, where are you at?

My 50L dewar is collecting dust too.  I still swear one day I will get back into benching.. once I have some money and time... the 2 most precious commodities in the world.
