Folks,
at this point I'm just going to ask for general forum assistence. As I mentioned in previous posts, I have one P5W DH and two P5B deluxes that need watercooling, toghether with several videocards. I am more or less sold on D-Tek Fuzion blocks for the CPUs and EK blocks for FETS/NB/SB/VGAs. I have, however, a problem: I do not know where to buy these and what to buy. The nice folks at EK don't have availability nor do they answer their email. Petrastechshop doesn't have half the stuff in stock. At present count I need:
3x Fuzion blocks
6x ASUS FET blocks (yes, I know, one will have to be modded to fit the top of the P5W)
2x ASUS P5B dlx NB blocks
2x ASUS P5B dlx SB blocks
1x ASUS P5W DH NB block
1x ASUS P5W DH SB block
1x 8800GTX full cover block
1x 7900GT full cover block
2x 7600GT blocks (MCW-60 from swiftech?)
2x Danger Den 2x HDD blocks
2x XSPC or other 'below HDD' block
All with 1/2" ID high flow barbs.
Several (...) feet of tubing, preferably the Tygon silicone kind (not the standard lab tubing - that's pointless)
Manifolds and worm clamps, I already have. I also have the 1-1/2" NPT tubing and enough pump and radiator for a full 72" rack.
Any and all ideas at reasonable prices will be considered. Thank you.

atm demand for EK stuff is pretty high so that they are getting hard to come by atm is understandeble.

but helping you with where to buy what will be easier if ud say were u live.

I live in the UK and ordered directly from Slovenia they were very helpful and answered my email queries pretty swiftly.

EK is known for replying to mails and generally have a very good customer support. If he hadn't replied, he's too busy atm. Give man a break... :)

If you're in the US, Jab-Tech, Performance PC's and Petra are resellers.

If you're ordering that many blocks, I'd email Eddy directly and ask for a discount. If that fails, you'd at least have a single source for all the EK blocks you're looking for.
i.e. Performance PC's and Petra didn't show the EK MOSFET blocks this weekend.

Does EK even make blocks that fit the P5W DH north and south bridges?

Thank you all! You make perfect sense about mentioning where I live: I can retrieve stuff in the US (east coast) and in Italy with equal ease. I did mail Eddy as some suggested, or more specifically, I used the form on the website, exactly one week ago today. Is there a better way / a different address?
AquaPC: I will take whomever can *deliver* the blocks at a reasonable price. The list is there, PM me with a quote if you do not mind.
TheBigBunny: that is a very good question: from what I could figure out, the Intel 'with hooks' block is supposed to work for the NB and the SB is the same as the P965 (no, the SB isn't the same, but the chip packaging and the hole spacing in the Asus boards are). So I have to assume that yes, they exist.

Well, I sent a regular email and got a reply within ELEVEN minutes. I have to assume the problem is with the store form.
