I was planning a HDD waterblock too... Mine is slightly different:
- there's one barb per side (i assume yours is side mounted too), 2 blocks
- from the barb, a serpentine shaped channel runs through the block
- the channel stops and connects to a inter-block tube
- the 2nd block is symmetrical
Since i've got 2 HDDs to cool down both waterblocks will be milled (with a CNC i've got access to), and have an 'E' cross-section (to mount HDDs in).

Until i'm there, i'm using extensive passive cooling, with those neat Antec HDD coolers (good heatsinks) and alu profiles. Keeps the 15K.3 at 39°C.
