North bridge block has been mated with the main piece. Still have to mill, both pieces. Just some eye candy for the time being.

Images are mostly at EVGA.com, or at Photobucket
The photos were originally posted to EVGA. if they aren't there, then they are from photobucket. those are the only 2 places the pictures are. Who's employer would block a manufactures website??
Any idea on pricing yet?

I had some spare time today, and cut all blocks cut, and sized correctly. They fit like a charm
Here is the test fit
And here is the start of the milling
Just the outer milling was started so I can mark the smaller channels
I even drilled some of the holes to mount it to the board. Everything aligns quiet well.
all but 4 holes left to drill and tap. Words cannot express how much easier it is to work with aluminum.
Looks sick man! Can't wait to see the final result.

thanks! can't wait for it to be done either. way to much going on in life, I wish I could put this higher on the list of priorities, but it is certainly up there. The poor soul who let me borrow their board i am sure is very anxious to get it back
ok, so I had a few moments... so I did a bit more tonight.
seriously, its bed time []
all the blocks are 100% finished! now to seal, assemble, and pretty up. oh yea, and take pictures
Just in case you didn't know...I'm in desperate need!

desperate need of... pictures?
Block is currently curing now. hopefully tonight, more pictures. I do have a lot to do... but I will see what I can accomplish. Picture a worst case scenario that it will be finished by the END of THIS WEEK!
(yea worst case being a week) but highly unlikely. Shouldn't be more then a day or so. Wed is my guess...
