Yeah the Cascade is his newest monster with all the mini jets, there's a thread around here somewhere with some sweet pics of it in action. Supposed to be 2-3° better than the WW.
Correct me if I am wrong, but it all depends on if you are using TEC. I was under the impression the Cascade was the best non-TEC block out there (although I have not seen results with TEC).
For TEC would you not want a large open channel block like the Swiftec or a lager maze style one.

You are right but most of us here (in the watercooling section) don't use TEC's, that would be in the extreme cooling forum. Some blocks are not at all designed to be used with TEC's such as the WW and the Cascade and a host of others. An excellent TEC block is the MCW5000 for sure, if I was TEC cooling, that would be the block for me.themodguy said:

you could really do a great diy block for a tec setup...it takes much less precision and ive seen some pretty nice diy's that were fairly simple...note that the diy's usually have larger channels and just like themodguy says....is usually better for tec's.

Cathar will eventually have a cascade-style block for TECs. I have a feeling it will work substantially better than the MCW-5000, which is already a great TEC block.
