Thanks for comments, more would be welcome =).

Direct die because of experimentation and possible performance gains... I would be interested in finding out the flaws in this particular desingn rather than the generic "direct die sucks, forget it", that is all-too often spread around =).
About the #Rotor design, I agree there's propably not much room for improvement but let's not let that limit our creativity?-)

#4 - propably so, but they wouldn't hurt... but this is more of an attempt to learn from faulty ideas than a serious baseplate

#3 - The heat will radiate beyond the central holes, that is a good thing, but wouldn't incrased surface area increase their capability to release heat into the water, though? They might be more for the looks but I'd like to get comments on their possible impacts on performance, no matter how small =) (I have M2-M12 (2-12mm threads) taps available at no cost so it wouldn't be an extra cost). (BTW, I´ll propably do these blocks with polycarb top, as I mentioned).

The gun is Glock 17, should be pretty evident (maybe you have too dark settings on your monitor?), but it's not real though but an airsoft replica =).

BTW, how deep holes you think I should make to my #Rotor -baseplates? I know 4mm holes and 100-110% depth is recommended by the guru himself but that would leave me like ~6mm of undrilled copper between the core and the water channels, isn't that a little bit too much for optimal heat dissipation? So, what would you suggest for the size of the drill bit and the depth for 10mm thick copper with polycarb top?
