ben, without the walls, the water would go from inlet strait to outlet, kinda like the older swiftech blocks do.
leave the inner wall, take out the outer wall and a few of those pins, only leave the pins in the center, add a few more in the center I would think, The heat isnt gonna travel much past the center pins.
Ben, If the heat wants to travel up the wall, LET IT, otherwize were does it travel? it doesnt. it get stuck and gets hotter.... what you would rather do is get rid of the heat before it can travel up the wall, The main reason for the walls in this block design is to direct flow, Without them the flow would do like I already said, go strait to the outlet.
-EDIT- also, if your using 1/2inch tubing and 3/4OD tubing, youll have a REALLY hard time getting the tubing on the barbs... take that into consideration, When I design a block, I draw in the barbs and the tubing together, and then leave a little room(streaches out over the barb)
