nice work, the bottom is nicely done too (lapping is the only part I hate)

lol, it must be "make your own block" week around here

now we need to get some-1 to compare all these blocks, as well as the maxe3, spir@l, TC-4, etc etc. that would be an interesting read...

you know, i was thinking of a design not entirely unlike this. but to increase surface area, it had small bumps thru the channels (kinda like what the koolance block has). maybe a revision of this block is in order to see if the additional surface area yeilds any additional CPU cooling...

Good job everyone! It's really exciting to see all this independent innovation. Love to see people thinking "out of the box" and coming up with new concepts, or even just twists on old ones.
