Is the M17x R2 body ALL aluminum?

Wondering what all exposes surfaces of the m17x r2 are aluminum? Palmrest seems to be plastic? Or not? Guessing bottom / sides are aluminum, and lcd cover is aluminum?

Edit: Well, ended up ordering another body, and lcd cover anyways. Planned on doing some modding, for a possible fully contained watercooling system, by removing the battery and bluray drive. Only if I can find a cpu waterblock that will fit between the cpu and keyboard. That's really the only thing holding me back.

 

that's cool! let us see some pics once you get it done, or even pictures of the whole process

 

or find a decent machinist that can mill you a custom waterblock. My husband had a few custom milled, and also some existing heatsinks modified with 1.8mm copper pipe interwoven for watercooling some custom 1U servers with next to no clearance.

essentially did this
Watercooling a laptop on the cheap : Prepare cooling block

but removed all the existing copper and made an interweave of super fine copper pipe carefully bent so there was no kinks or pinches and then soldered onto the aluminum heatsink somehow

 

I am really interested in this.
If you do push this through.
Please make a post/blog

 

Make the heatsinks bigger or doing internal water cooling is pointless.

 

Actually I plan on using the whole secondary gpu side to make a custom radiator, and CDROM area for a blower to cool it, and blow thru it out the rear vent. Battery compartment will be the the pump / reservoir. I think one gpu will be plenty for gaming.

If anyone can point me in the direction of someone who can make me a water block, that would be great. I plan on stripping all the aluminum and polishing it.
