I mentioned CrashDummy's PC from the PCDB a few days ago. He sent in a little more info on what he's got in store for it, including a cool waterblock:
It would be running watercooled as we speak but the waterblock broke it's top. I've inclosed a pic of it to give you a idea of it:

There were cracks around one of the bolts and both of the fittings. I'm guessing the cracks formed from the pressure from the fittings being screwed in the way they were. So now i've gotta either make a new plexiglass top and find a tap & die or get a metal top and a tap & die again...... Which i don't have!
Info about the block: $9 worth of metal on it (aluminimum) and CNC milled by a friends friends friend with my design. The block was originally designed to take 3/8in fittings but i scrapped that when i tested the waterflow with 1/2in fittings :)
I'm gonna have another attempt at making it. I want watercooling, but at the moment i'm running at 1ghz and i'm able to generally keep the cpu temp below 40.C while keeping the whole PC quiet. (Thank god) But i'm gonna keep working on it.
