Picture a pair of XFX 6800xt's with fans on a ASUS M2N32 MB. They crowd out the slots below them. If I remove the fans and replace with low profile water blocks, then plumb them into a mix and match cooling system, my slots will magically become available again.
The only block I have found is a Thermaltake W0088 which is 11mm thick. I would prefer half inch id nozzles but may have to settle for three eighths. Check it out:

It comes with compression fittings. Evercool also has a block but it might have aluminum in it? The all in one gpu and ram block are significantly more expensive.
What do you think?
