i panic when you not around and i think it's because my block leaked water all over you nf2 board. i dont mind testing my stuff on my own boards but when it's some one else's i would hate some thing to happen even though i am %100 confident of the block not leaking.

i glued the barbs in and didnt give the tube a single thought but i was lucky this time but it was very close.

as i have made the base thinner the original hold down that comes with the akasa base doesnt hold down with as much force so i might have to use the amd holes with my danger den hold down thingy i made.

KOSLOV I am also doing a similar heatsink conversion. That polycarb is great stuff, isn't it? BE sent me some of it too. What are you using to hollow out the top with? I am using one of these Dremel cutters, but I it always makes the polycarb opaque. How did you manage to keep yours so clear? Did you sand if afterwards? If so, with what?
hi koslov,
i use a dremel with the router bench




and cutting bits

dremel cutting bit 115

then i sand with 240 / 600 / 1200 but only a little as water will make it look clear anyway.

and that is a good price on the lexan i wonder if they would ship it to the uk.
