Finally... Obviously it's not finished yet, still needs the heatpipes and fins mounted to it.

Got it milled as a custom job at a small German company which mainly specializes on liquid cooling solutions for Desktop hardware (liquid-extasy.de). It wasn't cheap, but one has to take into account that it's a single custom piece, and setting up the machine etc. simply needs some time. Considering this I'd say the price was fair, and so far I'm very happy with the result, though I only did some quick checks as I didn't have time for a thorough examination.

The only negative point is that it took way too long to get manufactured. The agreed deadline has not been met at all, which is naturally highly unacceptable.

Anyway, I finally got my milled piece of copper, and as already mentioned, so far the quality of the work seems excellent.

One thing I worried about were the mounting posts for the clips of the original M15x heatsink, which I use in my custom design as well. It seems my measuring has been accurate enough (fortunately!!) and the milling is highly precise as well (didn't measure it so far, but the clips fit perfectly ) Also notice the MXM backplate looking through the holes in the clips in the last picture, a quite important detail... since it indicates that my design is precise.

I'm really happy that all seems to be fine so far, I hope that I can finish this soon.

omg you should do a group buy for these things

Hahaha, yeah, I've been dreaming about this, but it's not worth the effort... the only way which might be possible would be quite a crazy mod and not desirable regarding the portability of the system.

Wanted to ask you svl7, so the 7970m stock is gonna have power draw issues? i cant seem to find a clear answer from here or the notebookreview forums. m15x, currently only have a 740qm but i plan on getting the 920xm so thats why i was asking.
