Thanks DB. If only I had money and sponsers flowing out of my ears, I'd be done and on my 15th build like you.

Didn't know I could sell the stock heatpipe anywhere. I'm going to keep it, in case I have to RMA or sell the mobo someday.

Oh it's some crappy crap stuff that they GLUE on. I knew it would be like that on the Maximus Formula, but I thought maybe they changed it on these. Nope. I had to take a can of compressed air to the heatsinks to freeze it off. Only took 30 secs or so and it popped right off.

Took longer removing the old crap though.

Just ordered my last piece for awhile. An LG 4x DL Blu-ray burner. The thing plays HD-DVDs too. Amazing for only 259.99 with free shipping.

and the top of the case. Six holes for the fan wires, I'm thinking about adding leds to each hole, plus the two for the watercooling tubes.

Keep in mind, this is my first time cutting metal like this.
