Initial mesh metal cut for the sides...
Bolts that hold everything together...
PLaying with spacing...
A SERIOUSLY cut up thermaltake silent tower. Man that thing had a lot of fins. Surprisingly the fins were not brazed and where not soldered. Just slid down ontop of the 6 heatpipes. I just took a flat head screwdriver to jimmy one lose then I could pull it off with my fingers. Took awhile but did no damage to the heatpipes...

Mounting holes made and initial brackets. I just cut up the fins I ripped off the heatsink to make the brackets.

Checking positioning. Its not show in the pic but I had to make another mounting backet as I couldnt get the stock one to work with the way I wanted the heatpipes oriented:
Mostly assembled and running...
Pretty much finished pics:
Need to get a new PS (hopefully will fix my HT'ing probs) and will add a DVD/cd-rw laptop drive
