Looks like the resister leads are touching the hotend, I would double check that to make sure there not touching any part of the aluminum or end up with a short.
looks like a good build, got your lcd working with no problems. I'm beginning to dig the black version.
I just bought a $3 piece of plate glass from the local home improvement store. Menards, in my case. (Lowes has plate glass, but it's in their employees only glass cutting booth, and I couldn't find any glass at all at Home Depot)
LCD works like a charm. John from SeeMeCNC loaded a beta firmware on it last night (may be a release version, but he called me a guinea pig). The menu structure is a little different, but definitely an improvement.
The resistor leads are not touching anything conductive, but it sure looks like it in my picture. I actually bent the leads to hug the curve of the aluminum with about a 3mm gap. I didn't want anything touching the plastic carrier, so I made the hotend as neat and compact as I could. Wish I had more teflon tubing left when I installed the thermistor, some kapton tape would have helped too. That may get redone soon...
I have been posting my progress to imgur though. http://imgur.com/a/PWPR3#27
