BTW, can i make square O-rings? I plan to make a 1mm deep depression on the block boundaries and get the 1.6mm O-ring to fit in. Good idea?

I will give up the idea of the HDD block for now, since there are so many arguments between monuting it at the top and at the side.
I would suggest the Buna-N material. The temps and chemicals used in most typical WC applications don't warrant viton, imho.

And they do sell square o-rings at McMaster-Carr.
