Alright, I figure I'll make my own GPU block out of an old 1U copper heatsink.

Basically, I'll take it, and cut it to my desired demensions, then cut off the end upposite the inlet and outlet holes a bit short so the water will be able to go from inlet to outlets through the back and have to cross the fins for both.

Then, I'll tap some holes in the base for a Maze 3-1 coltplate I have laying around, and strap a pelt to it.

Seems simple enough, but I'll need some copper sheetmetal or something like that for the top and back, does anyone know where to get any of this?

Also, where do you get copper/brass barbs at?

My description might be kinda bad, and i have a picture drawn up, cut I can't figure out how to attach it?
