I've always wanted to produce and sell a block to other people, its a dream of mine, sad as it may seem, and I'm prepared to pay for that dream to become reality.
I take it you are the same king Richard from OcUK, and if you want to post this there, go for it, and if you want to buy or test this block, just ask, and I'll send it to you.
As posted before, this is not a WW killer, but at a guess, within 3 degrees is not a target too high to aim for. This means it should beat a Maze3 by a couple of degrees.
This all remains to be seem though, this prototype is NOT complete by any means, but its close, and the results should be reasonable.
let me know, gta@digital-explosion.co.uk, or find me on the forums at the same page.

if it performs well enough, i don't think you'll lose money (although obviously you wont know how well it'll sell til you try, unfortunately) and even if its only on a par with a maze 3, thats still pretty good from something thats nice and compact and looks relatively cheap to make (since its lathed, rather than all machined)
yep, i'm the same bloke, thought i'd use the same name here so people know who i am (same name on OcAU too
)
unfortunately i wont have time to test it at the mo cos i've got university exams going on next month, but if you still want it tested in about a months time, i'd be happy to (though i'd expect you would have tested it yourself by then, and maybe have made some more. i'm sure i'd be interested in getting hold of one of the final blocks
)
one other thing i thought of, are you going to put holes in the top for athlon-64 mountings as well, or does that complicate things? just thought it'd add some future-proofing to the design
