W00T! Put my order in at mcmaster:
(1) 2525A113 Taper Pipe Tap Carbon Steel, 1/4"-18 NPT $5.50

Ft. $19.65
Merchandise Total: $29.20
$30 for 5 feet of tubing, fittings, taps, $4 for 15 stainless #10-24 1" stainless screws, $20 for the donor heatsink, $25 for more than 5 feet of 4"x.75" UHMW plastic... about $79 for some high performance waterblocks and a lot of supplies to make many MANY more.
I think im doing pretty good because a NB and GPU block at dtek is $83 plus shipping, at dangerden they are about $79 plus shipping without the tubing I bought or the helpful tap and all the spare fittings and plastic and other stuff
And I can build so many blocks with the stuff I bought, so I might end up selling them at some point
A CPU block may be on the way in the near future if I decide to go pelt cooling, and of course I will have it tested against the whitewater and cascade to see how it performs.
Oh, and about the pin fin thing... This one will have MANY more pins
