i might be interested if you can make one with metal fittings instead of plastic, cause i will be using it with a eheim 1060 (2250l/h) so that animal produces to much pressure for most plastic fittings.

My HydroThruster is rated at 2,200L/HR and has a higher PSI rating than the 1060. Not even close to enough pressure to do any damage to the nylon barbs.
This is what I have into the block:
$.50 x 2 Hose barbs. $1.00
$.20 x 4 Hex screws. $1.00
$.25 x 3 for 2" x 3" acrylic peices. $.75
$5.00 in engraving/cutting costs. $5.00
$7.75 is what I have into it right now if I paid for the acrylic and engraving which I didn't being I am the manager here at work.
Not interested in making these for anyone though for many reasons. Anyone can come up with a do it your self version though. It isn't nearly as hard as making a good regular water block. Just have to aim water at the core and make an exit. No big deal...
