Pretty much. A friend of mine gave me a boatload of CPU heatsinks (30). I plan on getting some aluminum plate, tapping the holes to mount the resistors, and a bunch of thermal epoxy to secure the heatsinks to the underside of the plate. So, a rundown of things I need still:

- MMM
- Aluminum plates. 1.8" thick X 4.75" wide X ~36" long
- Thermal epoxy (probably at least a couple sets of tubes)
- 120 3mmX5mm screws
- A couple 3mm tap and drill sets. I imagine I'll break at least one set after drilling and tapping 120 holes.
