Is there a real reason for all of that copper? I mean, I think I want to make one that's in the range of 2x2" or 2x 2.5" and use socket lugs.
Also... Why do channels in the top? I know there is added cooling there, but how much does it add? Is it mostly for added flow? Have you ever made a block with a plastic top?
I've got a lot of work to do on revising your design ot suit my needs, but I really think you get less credit than you deserve. I mean you're like number 2 or three in the rankings (Owen's Billa tested block). Your's is the easiest to make (of the top performers).

my blocks ( majority of them) are 2"wide and 3" long. that is just about the right amount of copper to make any peltier happy.
I always make previsions for them to be used with Tec's, as it is inevitable, that those with my blocks, might eventually want to use peltiers.
The holes in the top, is not required, for cpu only cooling, I guess..... But slap 400~500 watts onto the bottom end, I can see some heat making its way though the outer sealing edge, into the top plate.
I am not limited as far as the size I can make my blocks. That is actually this design methodologies strongest characteristic. For example.
The beauty of this design concept, lies within the power of the user's imagination.
