For the time being, we are going to be running an initial Group Buy in which the plates will ship directly from the machinist (sloopy on the forum) from OK. They will be sold at a cheaper rate and ship quickly for all my patient customers who have been waiting for 8 months for these. Any Canadian customers can contact me as well and I will ship them directly from here in Ontario for the same price (we split the batch up between both of us). Sloopy was instrumental in perfecting the design of the plates, he stretched them to allow some fan overhang to actively cool the boards, radiused the fan openings for better flow, and helped me with mounting hardware and layout. The guy is an absolute perfectionist, and I look forward to working with him again. If anyone is looking for a contract machinist, I would 100% endorse hitting him up for it.
Here are some pictures:

We will be providing the sideplate, 2x nylon clips and 2x 6-32 screws to secure the plate to the PSU's. You will need to provide the 120mm fans and hardware to mount the fans to the boards, the screws pictured are 2" #8 flat head machine screws with nuts/washers for the pictured 38mm thick case fans. If desired, hardware to secure the fans can be included for an extra $2.00.
Pricing:
Sideplates will be priced at $14 each for the duration of this Group Buy, after which they will be priced at $16 each moving forward. Shipping rates within the lower 48 will be as follows:
1-4 plates: $7.50
5-10 plates: $15.00
11-50 plates: $20.00
The group buy will last for 2 weeks, with orders shipping out in the order they are paid for. There is no limit on the quantity for the Group Buy, but if we go through more stock than we have (250 units), it will take a couple weeks to get another batch made up. Bitcoin conversion will be up to you to calculate at the time of sending payment, rounding to 3 decimals using Bitstamp rates as indicated here (auto-updating):
