Haha maybe that's how I'll end up paying for the build, how many custom backplates would I have to sell to afford quad SLI kepler?

........quite a lot. No one makes GTX 5600ti 448 classified ultra backplates for me, other than the 580 backplates which fit its pcb but those say 580 and I dont have a 580

Yeah I bet it would be a lot. That's the problem with custom stuff - it ends up being expensive. It's a good idea though, maybe when I'm done with the project I'll get to it. I have some other ideas of custom stuff to sell when I've got it down on this build ;) CiRCiT

No comments evga? man what do I have to do over here ;)
So I got the opportunity to tour this new workshop close to downtown that just opened. It has all the workshop tools you could never afford to buy yourself, and you can buy day passes or month passes depending on how long you need. So this resolves all my issues with manufacturing the waterfall reservoirs myself, as well as opening up possibilities like custom waterblocks...
It was the launch weekend so there was a free bbq (there were plenty more people later on)
Wood shop room, saw stop tablesaw, planer, chop saw etc. bunch of other stuff that isn't shown:
Large CNC Mill for wood:
Sand Blaster:
Vinyl cutter so you can print your own stickers:
Forgot to take a photo of the 3D printer, but here's an 150W laser that cut through some hefty steel plate:
There's two other lasers good enough for acrylic/wood, and a third one is apparently on the way:
Spray paint booth, they have an oven for powder coating, but not all the rest of the powder coating tools yet:
Metal press and folding machines:
Other metal machines, bandsaw, grinders and a lathe:
Metal lathe:
Old school mills:
CNC mill - can you say custom waterblocks!
Electronics room - not much here, bunch of soldering irons, power supplies and scopes:
So what do you all think I should do with this opportunity?
I definitely want to:
- make the custom metal backplates for GPUs
- make the waterfall reservoir
- make some custom waterblocks for parts that aren't ultra high performance e.g. raid card, memory blocks etc.
there opening something like this in my town could be handy,very nice rig so far that case is awesome

That's crazy. Nothing like that in my town. :(
If I had the opportunity to manufacture my own pieces/parts, I would be all over it. Go for it I say. When all is said and done, you will have an absolutely one of a kind rig that you built yourself. How many others can say that?
If you don't live too far away I'll come and help. :D

Thanks :) GLad to see these kinds of workshops are spreading :) Here's another update: Here's a pic of the iwaki next to a D5  Then I put the dvd drives in. These will eventually be hidden :)  Then I starting putting in the new ssds into the hdd side mount:  I have another 3 ssds and 5 hard drives to put in later on, when I really transplant everything over:   And now a tease of the case with the panels:  More to come soon :)

So the only thing I got done this week was changing the switch plate to one that matched the exterior color. Here's the original:  The cover is held on with two nuts:  Put the new one on:  Reattach the switches:  Install it:  And put the panels back one:  That's probably it for the next week at which point a large order of parts should be coming in :thumb:

With all of the case whoas I've had, and cube cases from the late 90s and early 00s, I had never once, never thought of using a case(?) like this!
Seriously, great job man! And I will have one in a few years after I build my dettached home office (which comes after I finish building the main house first).
