If I decide that the little silver ring is still no good, I'll try the sharpie idea - thanks for that.

As Tomb noted, my case lid comes actually comes in contact with the heatsinks. This means that the whole case now dissipates heat. This, in combination with the vent holes, means that the case of my M^3 runs only slightly warm to the touch.

Thanks to Tomb for the very kind words regarding the elegance of my build.

Meanwhile, I need to find my next project. That is until the eagerly awaited Millett Hybrid MAX becomes available.
Nice touch, Fordgtlover. I like the varying size of the holes - pretty cool - literally and figuratively. I don't think the silver looks bad at all. It probably shows up a lot more under camera flash. I'm going to try something like that on the Max (and my M3 if I ever get around to building it).

I got the knobs from vt4c.com; they're located in China, so be prepared for expensive and slow shipping.

Expensive and slow?

Ok, it isnt domestic trade, but around one week and 10$ usd shipping (mine were pots and tube protectors etc.) isnt expensive nor slow. IMO. I think that's pretty reasonable. Here within Finland it will propably cost the same, and the travel distance is hundreds of kilometers, not thousands...

I ordered from them several times, they are usually very prompt (shipped to the States in approximately one week or less) -- one exception is during Chinese New Year and that's completely understandable.

Thanks! Yeah, I don't believe in following poor standards just because they're the norm *cough*3-pin XLR*cough*. 4-pin XLR makes much more sense.
