Ok heres the deal. I'm gonna get some metal soon, copper or aluminum... Heres the other deal, a good waterblock will perform the same in Aluminum as in Copper.... Here's another thing aluminum is cheaper, aluminum is a ton easier to machine you wont have corosion if you use waterwetter and proper corosion prevention

Heres what I'm plannin on doing, I plan on making custom blocks(to an extent till i get my mill) and sell them, then raise money to buy my mill i need 300-500bucks THEN ill make ultra nice blocks!

So what I want to know is if you peeps would still buy them if they were aluminum vs copper.... Like If you would refrain from buying them or anything, Im gonna order the metal prob monday or so... they are gonna be sealed by solder(aluminum solder) or a gasket and screwed together, and I can make them the rite sizes for your mounting....

Thank You
