Why study when you can cool your Mac?

I am upgrading from a B&W mobo to a Gigabit Ethernet mobo. This means I either buy a Apple heatsink for the CPU...or Fab it myself :^) I think you know what path I took. All work was done with a dremel or hand files/sand paper. I think it turned out just fine for a rev A cooling plate (I already have ideas for a tweaked desgin).

3 hours of grinding, filing, and sanding. Machine shop? Bah! More Dremel fun. All the pieces needed for extreme cooling (cold plate, TEC, top plate). B&W cases do not have mount points so I ran screws from the bottom. I can adjust pressure with the springs. Note blue dip swich for bus speeds. That'll get any overclocker goin :-D I took a bit extra from the corner with the inductor, but 2 CPUs still fit. Global Win WBK heatsink mounted Another angle. Closeup of mounting point and springs.
