Looks great!

I was going to go with the thermal glue but it would get cooked when I welded it all together. I think there is a product like silver solder that is very thin, heat it up & pour it in & it will seal everything together.

I think if i go this route I would rather brush it then cover it anyways..... Always have a soft spot for brushed alum

I was also thinking of going with brushed.

teasin!!! You should be building these for Modular to market!!!

Martin and I have been working together to build these he has been great to deal with. I think these would be to expensive to build for market compared to extruded heat sinks. I had the plate left over from a project and just had to buy the 1/8" x 1" flat bar.
