Sorry for the delay in updating. I spend a lot more time at O/C forums. To answer some questions:

1. I hate plastics and will not put a WB with a plastic top in my rig. I've tried Lexan, Lucite, and Plexi, and none of them met my standards.

2. I've found that the best BP thickness for this block is around 0.10"-0.15" thick.

3. For the TC-4 comparison I can say this: My testing has shown that the evo consistently performs 2C better than a TC-4 rev.2. Temperature measurements were taken using a Vantec Nexus thermal probe and using the on-die temperature diode. Both thermal probes agreed very well. (Take it for what it's worth, as I was the one performing the testing.) The pump used was a Via Aqua 1300.

4. I have not done any Peltier testing, but I believe this is not the best block for a peltier. I have a version designed specifically for the P4 that will be a good peltier block, however.
