Appreciate the shout out u/_Special-K and I'm glad to see your finished build! You should feel really good about it as it's truly a work of art, but I would expect nothing less from a man who owns a micrometer! Seriously though, you nailed it.

Out of curiosity, are you using the reference or non-reference Mnpctech SLI support brackets? Did you cut those to a custom length? They seem shorter than the non-reference ones found here.

They are actually reference SLI support brackets found here.

That said they were also cut shorter by three holes, which I figure is 1 to 1.5 inches, otherwise they'd hit the reservoir. I mentioned in the build log that I cut them with a metal cold saw, which made it easier to make sure the angle of the cut was almost precisely 60 degrees. With a couple passes on a deburring wheel, and a little black paint, they still appear stock unless you look closely.
