What are your thoughts on the newest Leufken Technologies Water block: the Componet Fluid Injector(tm) block. The link for the pics and a small explaination are here:http://www.gideontech.com/articles/tl_wbpreview/
Thought that this was interesting myself :)

I have been looking into this one for a little while, it
looks very impressive however, I am not that impressed
at it not having any internal chanels, Id say this is an
average watterblock.
I'd also stick to a copper based system.
You would proboably get better watterflow, but the results
would most likely lean towards a channeled watterblock, mainly
because it has more surface area for the heat to transfer into
the watter.

I was thinking along the same lines. With the coolant coming in and not being channeled, there is the provibity the the water with just swirl around inside the block and not pass through effectively. If they made it so that the coolant was channeled dirrectly over the die, then it might have a good chance of working.
Of course, thats just my opinion and I could be wrong :)
did you see the angle on the intake and outlet on the block! I looks like it's designed to push water directly onto the CPU and then out again. Water just like anything else will bounce off of something at an equal angle. Like a ball bouncing of a wall.
So if they make their block right the water thats being forced in will automatically bounce towards the exit anyways. Even with the block being filled with water.
A better variation of this would have a single v shaped channel with a small openning at the bottom for the CPU to fit in. this would minimize any water staying stuck in the heatsink core chamber and thus keeping things hotter.
An alternative to that would be to have a rounded dome shaped chamber with flush intake and outlet. that could also minimize the amount of water stuck in the chamber..not as much as the v shape would though.

Seems the only benefit is the coolant directly hitting the CPU die... if that's truly a benefit. And the pelt directly touching the core?
When I started messing with pelts, I put pelts in direct contact with my C566 core and was getting ok temps. Once I started using a cold plate I began to get better temps.
I think I'll stick to the Maze2-2 :)

That was what I was trying to get at but must have missed my shot. Thanks for saying it as it was meant!
