The CPU SF PolarFlo Block

Key Features:
- Anodized top
- Super flat and Super Finished 110 Copper base 0.000050 Flat and 0.5-1.0 Ra Microinch Surface Finish (0.0000005" to 0.000001")
- Incredible cooling performance! SECOND TO NONE!
- High Flow design
- 1 centered water inlet and 2 offset water outlets for maximum flow velocity
- Customizable fittings (combine 1/2" and 3/8" fittings) I am buying custom 1/4" threaded brass fittings that are 1/2" for my pipes at Home Depot for the CPU block and for the other 2 blocks, and I will use different clamps for the hoses.

Key Specifications:
- Dry Weight: 10.9oz Size: 3.25"L x 2.60"W
- Height: 2.43" w/Barbs 1.13" w/o barbs
- Displacement: 5.1 cubic inches

The kit includes:
- (4) Mounting screws
- (4) Washers
- (4) Thumb nuts
- (5) Hose clamps
- (1) Y-hose splitter

Cons - Nylon mounting, I am still looking for something to replace this with spring loaded screws or something like that, if anyone knows how to do this for the SF CPU block from PolarFlo, please lol...

The VGA/CS PolarFlo Blocks

The following models depict the different options you have when ordering a PolarFLO Universal VGA/Chipset water block. Each model has a different arrangement and orientation of the connectors as well as a mounting orientation that applies to VGA boards and Chipsets. The unique universal design gives us the ability to meet your specific needs for VGA and Chipset water cooling. Our water block is completely adaptable for future VGA and Chipset designs. The same technology we engineered into your PolarFLO CPU water blocks is engineered into the new PolarFLO Universal VGA/Chipset water block. This is a fully customizable and comprehensive design.

(I like it comes with a cheap deal I'm getting and it works rather well, however I only found one site that tested the VGA/CS blocks, seemed to be... Okay, as you can see the profile on the blocks isn't superb they say it works best with a good pump, well hopefully I'm getting an Eheim 1250 so I'm good

.

What I want to do (look below), please note I'm looking to replace the CPU mounting system to a better way. And I will replace all the plastic barbs with brass ones.
