Ok, I'm going to take the plunge and get into watercooling. I'd like to build my own block as, basically, I'm a cheap *******. Anyway, my friend has a drill press and a dremel and all the tools. I've been looking around locally, but can't find any metal suppliers. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to find copper bar stock? (I live in Houston btw). If I can't find anything locally I'll just order from onlinemetals.com which has a insane stock and seems fairly cheap.
My main question is which block should I start off with. I've been seeing a lot of talk about the White Waters lately, how easy is it to drill press a clone of it? Otherwise I was thinking of the multi-hole block as it looks very simple.
Finally, does anyone have any good diagrams showing dimensions for an AMD system? Off the top of my head I'm guessing something like 2" x 3" x 1/4" or so for the copper, but I'd like to find some hard numbers to better align everything.
Thanks
