from the pictures it looks like the tubes are the same length as the polycarb is thick or is the o-ring lifting the polycarb of the desktop and the tubes are longer but you just cant see it.
would it be possible for you to post some pics of the jets in action without the base plate.

Should work well on a P4 system in the same way that the White Water works well on a P4. It's not necessary to focus on cooling the entire 30x30mm area. The jet cups cool the hottest section of the CPU. The oval cavity is 30mm wide and not very deep. The out-flow from the cups practically races across the surface of the copper acting somewhat like what we've come to expect from standard maze-designs in terms of cooling in this area. This means that the block is capable of offering focussed cooling where it's most needed, and still offers good cooling for residual heat. The Cascade block would make a half decent TEC block, unlike the White Water.
[Edit: Oops - forgot to answer the rest of the question]
The tubes are slightly longer than the polycarb is thick. The tubes actually extend into the holes in the copper base somewhat. The O-ring when the plate is by itself, causing the tubes to not touch the desktop so it's a little hard to see.
I'll try to get some pictures of the top two plates in action after I clear the nozzles.
