Very cool stuff. But looks like it interferes with the mPCIe slot?

Give a guy some credit will ya?  Its still not finished, but its MUCH closer. I put my all into this and now its 3:30 AM. I am BEAT, but here are the fruits of meticulous planning:  Doesn't look like much, but its just a clear prototype so I can see how the O-rings seal. Everything mates together with incredible precision. Here is what it looks like with some O-ring stock:  The tolerances are astounding.

Going to look into the IO plate tomorrow. Does the board come with some form of CPU back plate? I don't have one here. I could just cut an aluminum one if I had to.

OK, the IO plate needs to be modded. The good news, is that is simple. However... simple is in the eye of the beholder. A dremel cutoff wheel would be best, but if you guys don't feel comfortable doing it, just send it to me, and I will handle it for you. All that is required is some tape, 2 clamps (even those aren't even "necessary") and the dremel cut-off wheel. I have to go to the store to get them since I can't find mine.

I kinda like the clear middle section of the sandwich tbh.
I might have to senf in my IO plate... dont have any tools here. Got a nail file.... need about 2 months....

I have a dremel with a cutting blade so I will do mine myself. Looking great!

The clamping kit I bought only has 2 sizes of each strap clamp (the elongated chunk of steel that is holding the blocks down). That one on the right is thinner then the others so I just took the space up with washers. Just the clamping methods. Has no bearing on the block.
Finishing up some top blocks now.
