don't worry the only thing that sucks is stock air cooling
danger den blocks knocked down my temps 20 to 30C for the "inferno" 8800gtx sli, now idles about 25C over ambient

Danger Den make good stuff. People like to be hatahs but don't let that get you down. So maybe an EK will get u 2c diff and maybe not. DD stands behind their stuff and is constantly working to improve and redesign for improved performance while maintaining a reasonable price.
I'm going to have to disagree Darth. DD hasn't put out anything to compete in the CPU department that's competitive with the Swiftech or D-Tek blocks.
Their 8800 FC blocks were just horrible in QC. I ebayed mine after getting my hands on the EK's and seeing how drastic the difference in quality/craftsmanship. McCoffey had some pics posted of the how bad their blasting was. I also took offense to how they handled the fiasco of a run of their 8800FC's having microfracture leaks, toasting many systems. To my knowledge, of the 4 people that lost their systems, only 1 received replacement parts only after he threatened legal action.
DD was definitely a competitor back then, but now...in the words of Borat "ehh...not so much".
So here she is.

I used my flowmeter as jet, its performing two jobs, it protects my pc and improves block performance.

The top plate I built. It also houses switches that control my pump flow (5v & 12v) lights, and the front musketeer.

just completed and rewireing now !!!
omg a single 120 rad for a cpu and vga
LOL
u sure have a sharp eye
lol, its quite a rats nest down there.
i caouldnt find anywhere else to put the cables, so i just shoved them there, it dont really matter though, because im getting a new case soon, a lian li pc-7b
temps are ok, gpu (stock) 35 idle , 50 full load, cpu (e6600 @3.6 ghz) 47 idle, 68 full load
i'm a big fan of lian li but the pc-7b is a tad small for more than a single 120 rad internal
i think that a 120.2 will fit on the top of the case, im willing to sacrifice 2 drive bays if needed.
i think it has room, look at this http://www.systemcooling.com/lian_li_pc-7b-07.html
nice! that the rad that i have. So 120.2 mcr on top and i 120.1 bip in front would work?

I am going to redo the "t"s so that they do not impede flow tonight, like this:

pity about the dent in your PA, but that's one heck of an awesome build! I like what you did with the shroud, although I don't know whether it's more effective that way or not.
I know it supposed to be fan>shroud>rad, but I have to sacrifice performance (for now) to get it to fit underneath the "cupboard" after I use the comp. Notice I already took off the case's feet.
When I tear those down Ill place the fans ontop...here is a pic of my deskspace I have to work with:
