I haven't updated you for a while because my RAID got corrupted badly so I'm working on fixing it and saving my important files , also I've been working (on the block) for like 14 hours a day.
I got some good news and some bad news, good news first:
A new and improved model was made (acrylic and stainless steel this time), those little "rounded cones" got twice taller and a little thinner to exchange heat and turbulate water better, there were changes to the wall "knobs" too.
The block's top will be painted with epoxy paint, electrostatic painting (or something like that). This kind of painting is *much* stronger than regular painting, you'll never get a scratch on it, it also looks very "professional".
I'll be able to produce much more blocks in a lower ammount of time (like 50/60 a week) because I got some people (pros) to do some of the finishing and the painting for me.
A very nice and secure clip made of steel (probably stainless) and aluminium (this combination is to get something that is very strong and light at the same time) is coming for both socket A (AMD) and socket 478 (P4), in the AMD version it will use all the 3 socket lugs on each side. It won't allow the block to spin or slide, it will also be the same color as the top. This is great news for those who don't like the 4 hole mounting method.
Now to the bad news: I don't think I can make it in 8 days, maybe some 15/16 days
I'm really sorry about this, I know some people who wanted the block probably gave up already.. The thing is, the quality of the product is a priority, that's why I'm sacrificing some more time. Again I'm sorry.
@LiquidRules: USD$15 for the 50 first units, after that I'm not sure, but I guess something like $22.
@MadDogMe: Oh man, the votings are like 50% black, 50% blue, that's tough, and well, I like both colors
Thanks for all the feedback so far, you have been *very* helpful.
