Tackle for holddown is easy. Print this list up and go to the hardwarez store:

4x long skinny steel bolts (measure your boltholes on your board so the threaded part will fit through with a bit of room to spare).

8x plastic/nylon washers for that size bolt

4x springs, medium tension, not too much bigger than your bolt, though bigger sizes will work

4x gnurled knob nuts or wing nuts to secure it

8x big ass washers (bigger in diameter than your spring by over 1/4")

This will total cost you about $5.

Wrap the bottom inch of the bolt in duct tape to prevent it from contacting your mobo.

Put it on the board in this order (back to front) with the bolt in the middle (duh):

nylon washer
mobo
nylon washer
lexan top of waterblock
big washer
spring
big washer
nut

Do it like that, and tighten the thing down until it wont move on your die (side to side and up/down), and then tighten a little more. If the springs are too pussy, they'll collapse completely. If they are too strong they'll crush your die. Get them so you can comfortably squish them in your hand, but they still give good resistance. If you have to strain, they are too tough.

My $0.02.
