Kevin, thanks for your opinion too..

im so glad i found this site and forum, i've
been educated big time here...
guys; keep up the good work, we all have our
opinions on what is best ('cept me

) ... both blocks look great, and would appear to perform great too. i'll definitly get a different radiator; it will be hard to wait a month for the little black 4x4's to come in stock though...
thanks again for all the great information. without sites like this one, us "newbies" to watercooling would be lost
