I do not think whomever was saying whatever that they ment the mounting hardware. That is irrelevant as you would destroy the CPU long before you cracked the top with the amount of pressure it would take to crack the top.

Meatal is also fine for the screws that hold the top to the base as long as the holes are not counter sunk with a tappered bit and to close to the edge of the block. If those screwes get over tightened it puts a lot of stress on the sides of the hole and will crack.

Also it is not wise to put the barb holes to close together not only for cracking issues but because you can't get thick walled tubing on all the barb and hole clamps.

Those are the problems I see with "The Demonic X.T.C". Well other than the blatent ripp off of the design.
