Just in case you didn't catch it - looks like the DD block is $10 bucks off right now at NCIX. Every little bit helps, right?

Nice. You might post a few pics for posterity, since I've seen that question come up more than a few times. Also at issue is exactly what else on that card needs bits of metal stuck to it for cooling. If there was ever a card in desperate need of a Uni-sink...

Might be worth waiting it out and getting that EK block, very well designed and looks real good.

Ever think of using a 90 barb on the 2 inside ports so you don't need to do any magical bendy tube magic? |_---_| ?

This is the route I think I will go when I finally watercool my 2x 4870x2 cards

Also on an unrelated note... I was like "hum, his name is very familar", then I kept surfing my other frequently visited sites... I see you EVERYWHERE, your on redflagdeals, xtremesystems, and the one that pop'ed into my head as "NOW I KNOW WHERE I KNOW HIM FROM!"... NCIX Fourms.

Bingo, these are the type of barbs I'm talking about (I'd go with the bitspower ones personally)
