Erm - that design is quite blatently stolen from the MCW-6000 (if you look at the original picture, its the same approximate pin number and density with the same inlet placement, same outlet, and same half moon deflector... Since pH's review places the MCW6000 up there in Cascade territory, I wouldn't call it a poor design by any stretch of the word.
EDIT: Re pH's comment
I agree - thats 361 holes (19x19) with a very small drill bit - not a quick task. Then add in the dremeling - seriously fiddly work to make sure you leave that halfmoon unbroken. However, if someone has more time than money, or simply would rather make the block themself, its not a bad idea. I'll most likely be getting MCW6002s for my Opteron system, but I'd still be interested to see the performance of a DIY MCW6kClone.
