Have not received the trays yet, but I did some work to the MM.

I decided to add a novak cap the the board where the main power leads attach. I left about 1.5 inches of wire on the cap so that i could mount it out of the way.

While i had the plastic case off I had a good look at the MM. Turns out that the heatsink was barely glued on! I removed it and the thermal glue residue. I then filed the bottom flat with a file and used some arctic silver thermal epoxy to hold it together. I used very little and made sure that I coversed the entire surface of the fets with a thin coating. It looks good now and the only light that can be seen is between the rows of fets from each end. I feel better that the heatsink is properly attached!

I will have to check my other MM escs and see how they are!
