I could do that to a piece of wood in about the same amount of time using the router, a couple clamps, and a couple pieces of wood for straight-edges to guide the router along. But somehow I get the feeling that the router would really not appreciate having a piece of aluminum shoved into it's bit.

Then again, if you can get shaped bits for CNC's like you can for routers, that block is nothing but a grid drawn with a pointy bit not set very deep.

Either way, looks damn nice. What we really need now is an online non-profit store where we can buy home-built blocks. A page somewhere on ProCooling where all you block-makers can list your items along with a price, and readers can put in an order and have one made/shipped to him, ProCooling would just be used to connect the buyers/sellers. If you could run ASP or ASP.NET instead of php I'd code it for you myself.
