Yeah. First it was "it will never work because of blah blah blah..." and now it's "it's not working as well as you think because of blah blah blah..."

I don’t care if it’s the performance king or not, the greatness of this design is in the ease of making. Lots of DIYers don’t even have a drill press, and really like a low tools design with decent performance.

You hit the nail right on that head. That was the original intent...something that's easy to make, cheap, and usable. One of the reasons I designed it this way was that I have 8 noisy processors here I need to cool! With 32 bucks worth of copper from OnlineMetals I have enough material to experiment and then outfit all my computers with a block.
I'm hoping to cool 6 computers with one big pump and rad. My main computer (with 2 processors) will get a smaller pump and rad. So far things are shaping up! And don't forget the fun factor in making your own block!
I certainly hope people give it a try.
