Ahhh nice! Looking forward to seeing that!Haha its actually a custom power button! I honestly don't like vandal switches personally. I will reveal more information later when everything is finalized

Yes, it will be machined aluminum. They won't be cheap...Great progress, I like the custom button idea. The PCB should be simple, and I have thought about using custom buttons over tiny momentary tact switches before. How are you going to manufacture it? Machined aluminum as well?
Will they be flush with the front bezel?Yes, it will be machined aluminum. They won't be cheap...
It will probably be flush with the bezel, I haven't decided yet. Also I should add that this will only work with a custom 3d bezel.Will they be flush with the front bezel?
I want the button to have a premium feeling and the only way to achieve that is using metal, which 3d printing just isn't able to do (to be honest it can but the surface finish is pretty bad and cost a lot as well). Thats why I choose to CNC the button instead. I'm think of adding a led indicator as well, just not sure how to implement it yet@firewolfy Has something like this on his MI-6 case. I think his button is #d printed and has a light shining through it.
Who are you working with to make the block? I'm considering trying something similar
More on the hybrid GPU idea
Sadly this really can't be done, its way too expensiveWho are you working with to make the block? I'm considering trying something similar

Indeed, they didn't even bother giving me a quote.Just for reference, a one-off heatsink runs between 1000-2000 USD depending on materials. Looking at this design, I would anticipate a cost in excess of that.
