dude, I got one of the first maze3's w/ the countersunk screws as well. ... except, mine was fine. I actually lapped the block, using the barbs (in part) to hold the block. In hindsight, that should have cracked the hell out of it. Nope. I ran that block for a few months on my Athlon, and everything was fine. No bubble, no cracks.
I switched to P4, so I had to get a new top. They sent me a 478 copper top for half price, because I voiced concern over the original top.
While I had my worries over the original top, (also, the block wasn't flat... needed MUCH lapping), I would still buy from DDen again. They're OK.

/rant I will say this: I ordered the new top on a Monday morning, and had it shipped 2 day air. It shipped a week later, and arrived either Wed or Thur of that following week. (10-11 days) I know DDen is a small operation, but that's farking ridiculous. If someone asks for something and is willing to pay air freight, put a rush on it for pete's sake. /end rant
