What I have in mind is differant. I'm sure you've seen blocks that have the inlet & oulet on one side of the block and these don't take up any space to speak of which won't then block use of extra card slots.
What I have in mind is that the side of the block where those barbs are mounted is cut at a sloped angle so the barbs would rise over the RAM higher allowing use of heat sinks. It might not be possible to cut the base at an angle as well as the top or at least not all the blocks side, so as to not affect the cooling pin area of the block & it's O-ring.
Your last two pics/drawings gave me a differant view point regarding this idea. I don't think it will work as well with the thick base involved here. I do think if it were made from a air pin sink that perhaps then it would as the base would be much thinner with the pins rising out of the thinner base. Will take some thick plexi for the top to make it work even there, but it might.
Thanks again for your fine CAD work.

It looks like I'm not following you quite well...are we talking about GPU or NB waterblocks here? NB waterblocks are, AFAIK, perfect with perpendicularly mounted barbs...GPU blocks, however need barbs to be mounted parallel or at an angle.
There is a 3D model of the waterblock I am using on my video card presented on the previous page....the hoses clear the RAM heatsinks due to a pretty complicated barb mounting design. Please take a look and tell me if you are referring to that particular problem.
Thank you for the kind words regarding my CAD work...I think that I have more to offer in that field.
