I like Cathar's new block he's working on pretty well. I think with a few tweaks he may have a new champion. And if it does beat out the WW I'll bet D-tek will freak!

I'll be buying a CPU block soon, his new design may become the third block on my short list. His WW & Morphling1's block being the other two.

I've a idea to throw out to you guys. I'm thinking of making my NB & Gfx blocks. Here is what I've got in mind so far. Base to be of the Rotor's design. Tops to be .8 Security grade Lexan. With the strength that the security plexi offers I'm thinking of drilling into the top on a angle, then insert copper tube for the inlet/outlets. The angle of the tubes in the top to improve the routing of my lines from CPU to NB to Gfx. I'm thinking it will allow them to be a little shorter and run tighter to the MB and Gfx cards.

The Gfx would also have a top like this with it's inlet angled upward for the incoming line, and outlet at a right angle aiming towards a DIY res I'm going to make. The res will be made of plexi tube and be as tall as needed to put the inlet tube at the same level as the outlet tube from the Gfx card. Combined with my single pass rad this should give me a system set up with Xtremly short tight lines. And a good deal of my lines (all curved sections) will be copper and all lines to be 1/2 or 5/8".

Have I gone over the top??? Thoughts??

Lee,

(need blushing smilie here) I'm afraid I don't have your addy anymore. Drop me a PM again please.
