Not sure exactly what you're asking for. If you want the PCB layout, no because I make and sell these things for a living and I'm not giving that away. If you want a 3D mechanical something-or-other, I don't have that. I'm very pencil-and-paper. I can tell you it's a four-inch-square 1/16" thick slab.

No, not anything proprietary. The mechanical drawing would have been enough if it was an option. I was mainly wanting to get the dimensions for the cap and anything on the other side of the heat sinks that aren't in the picture. That way I could come up with some sort of air duct system/stand for the pods and know what sort of clearances I had to work with. I might be able to come up with something based off the specs you gave me.

interesting, however, an enclosure might trap heat dissipating by fins, so maybe enclosure around PCB with fins protruding out?
then, it would look similar to some graphic cards.
heck, maybe, once he switches to BF chips, one can envision a "hanging" design similar to what people do with GPUs on metal racks.
then, a big fan could take care of a multitude.
