What's the diameter of each cup? I'd speculate that the diameter of the G7's cups are on the order of ~1.5mm. The tight density should allow for an even thinner baseplate, so I imagine the cups are somewhat deeper than 3mm, with the baseplate being 4mm at its thickest point.

You'll probably have to learn ProDesktop through trial and error. If it's anything like SolidWorks or AutoCAD, there should be some simple tutorials that may be able to assist you. I've gained quite a considerable grasp of SolidWorks just by fiddling around.

For a diagram of a very robust and capable test system, head over to SystemCooling and take a look at Lee's/Robotech's configuration. Do keep in mind that building a proper testbench is pretty cost prohibitive, which is why I suggested contacting one of the testers here or at the Waterblock Testing Alliance (wbta.us, I believe). There aren't many left willing to do testing, but BigBen might be interested in doing some work for you, though I have no idea if he'd be interesting in testing a Storm clone.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by suction over the cups - care to elaborate? There are already areas of suction at various important parts of the Storm.
