The next test PCB will be the fan carrier board. I already have two Noctua 40mm to try it out. The LEDs are plenty bright and I think they turned out well. I didn't know how much light would shin thru the PCB but I'm happy with the results!
I'm not sure how many folks use or need a multi-PCI spanning bridge, but I decided to craft a 40mm and 60mm bridge with custom artwork. The 40mm has a knock-out Quake logo but decided to not add LEDs, while the 60mm bridge has a knock-out and LED backlight. Not sure it was totally needed but I trace length matched on the 40mm and 60mm PCB because I had to route around the knock-out causing some traces to have <10mm mismatch.
Once I know the other test PCB works, I'll upload these designs to GitHub for everyone! Thanks for the inspiration for everyone who contributed to the original post by @matze79.
