You're going to make your own block? or get a shop to make it? what tools/skills do you have, that will partially determine what kind of block you can make.

also what pump will you use and what king of cooling are you going to use for the water (rad, evap ect.)

Well, if your having a friend do it for free, then keep it simple.
Nothing bugs someone more then being taken advantage of. So keep the design simple, so it doesnt take as long to machine.

Also simple designs are sometimes the best.

Stay with a base of about 5mm in copper a little less in aluminum. I have found that a slightly thinner base in aluminum yeilds a small return. Dont make it to thin that it could crack though.

ok, here is a more serious one

giza1


seeing as you seem to have a hard time getting anything from us here

should be a fairly straight forward mill, with a 90ยบ taper bit. will give good Copper to H2O ratio for the internal passage, good flow and has a fair amount of surface area...

the aim with the pyramid design was first to be easy on the mill, and secondly have good performance....
