I gotta make a direct die block for one of those sometime.
One thing you could do is cut holes for the pads and not take them off. Thats one thing I think I would do.
So far, it looks good. I really didnt look at the pics that thouroughly. though. That duron have a squair core? Mine dont....
One thing that you have to remember is the offset in the socket.
Also, in order to get your cpu out, your gonna need to take the waterblock off. The cam lever will get in the way. Thats always a pain in the butt. The way I solved that on my old direct die block was I just made a 2x2 block and a hold down.

The block fits perfectly. I used a dead 8K7A to line everything up when building it. Note the first pic it is mounted to the CPU and ready to go, juist needs the sealing. The core isn't square, it is rectangular but it is rotated 90 degrees compared to the newer XP's and a little larger. I am going to put the block together, put the CPU in the socket, silicon the top to the CPU and put the block on using the 4 holes to apply the pressure for the seal on top o the die. It is a little over an 1" thick so it is plenty stout.
