@svl7 , if you asked around the forum here and maybe at nbr, I bet you could find a decent number of people who might want a copy of that sink. I am a machinist and I also do estimating and quoting, so I know that a decent quantity will make the price drop quite a lot. Even 10 pcs would drop it an awful lot. In fact, if you send me the CAD file, I can have several different shops quote you prices. It wouldn't really involve a lot of work on your part at all, since you already have the dimensioned drawings. I might even tackle making one for the M15X CPU myself. Been thinking about it since I got mine a few weeks ago. Still tossing around whether I just want to do a bigger copper heatsink or try some ridiculous watercooling approach. Not much extra space in the chassis though, and I don't want to lose my 2nd HDD in the optical bay or the battery, so I am leaning toward a bigger copper heatsink.

Indigo Xtreme!! heh. That's what I'm using...just put it in yesterday morning on both the CPU (i7-920xm) and GPU (ATI HD5850). Took a little work, but it's running 5-10C cooler than whatever the stock gunk was. I am able to run the 5850 OC'ed at 800-1200 and OV by 50mv with no hiccups at all, GPU temps are staying in the low-mid 70's C.
