What components will they be cooling?

CPU, GFX (R9700Pro core only) and NB.

Instead of a Z shapped large channel, make several small channels so that you get a lot more surface area and more effective cooling. It would make it more restrictive but not by that much, as you could have them quite wide so it would be almost the same.

Yes, that would be better. However, as these would be first blocks I'm gonna make, so I'll keep them simple.

Also I would think this way would be easyer to make and possibly waste less material, Ive done similar with my gpu block, and I used a dremmel to cut the channels. what tools do you have to make yours? a drill press or mill would be the only easy way to make those big channels quickly.

I am limited to tools my father currently has. Pillar drill (or is it drill press?), hacksaw, files and crapload of drill bits.
I MIGHT get access to a CNC machine but its too uncertain to rely on. Besides, I'm used to make things with my hands. Runs in the family.

What program did you use to do the renders btw? they look good

3D Studio Max 5.x and Brazil R/S. Not exactly CAD program but I love it.
