Small update.

Megan is getting me a Dremel for xmas so I will be able to do this right.
After that arrives, and after buying some gifts, I will be on track to finally order the stuff I listed.

here is everything I did (almost everything) step by step in 35 images

Now, put the board back into the chasis.
The screws might not line up so easily, but you can manipulate them from the bottom through the tape one at a time until they fit.

Now go back and tighten the heatsinks down. If you still red ring, maybe it is unlevel or not tight enough. It doesn't take a lot of pressure. You only want it to be snug.

Then, I cut a window into the top of the case above the fan for intake.
If you also decide to put a fan, make sure it is intake and sucks air in.

After doing all of this, you will likely red ring on your first boot. Just leave it on for about 30 seconds and then turn it off, just long enough to heat up the thermal paste. Now wait about a minute. Turn it back on and (if you did it all correctly) it will now boot up no problem.

I've done something like that with computers before. That's horribly irritating.

But congrats on fixing it, and awesome post... you put a good deal into it.
