Custom Project: Black Silverstone TJ-10

Well I got a drill press for $15 and I took a stab at it. Here is the result:

Looks pretty good to me!

It sure looks pretty! Is it functional or do you still need to mill the block?

That is a good question. If I'm seeing correctly there is one mount screw. Will that be enough to have a good contact with the chip?

nice job dude

but how is it holding down with only one place to put a screw.

love the red lit acrylic

You know I was skeptical too at first, but once I got it mounted with a spring between the acrylic and the motherboard and the 9800GX2 mounted I can tell it’s secure. The block sits perfectly flush and there is no clearance between the top of the block and the 9800GX2.

The block is completely finished; I’m reusing the base I already had. Ill post more views soon……after some sleep……..maybe….
