Shoggy, I really am liking the design of Aqua Computer's 295 block. It really looks nice and very flexible. I wonder if the stock casing can still be put on afterward. hmmmm

@dorian: I think Sidewinder Computers will have them first.
@BlueAqua: nice idea but that won't work.
What's the ETA to Sidewinders and has it been sent out to Gary yet?Originally Posted by Shoggy

Good to hear in regards to completely dropping Alu from all of your new blocks.Metals are the same as all our new blocks: nickel plated copper.
Its an acrylic body like our VID-398GX2, very similar actually. Biggest difference is that the nozzles will exit the block parallel to the board rather than perpendicular such as our 9800GX2 block.
I don't have pictures right now, but its one of my favorite video card blocks
When will this be available and to which retailers? And what's the price for the block?

I hate you. I JUST dropped coin on a new Zotac 280. Like last night.Wow,
Now that compels me to replace the 280's I have on the main rig. That's all I've been waiting on myself, the right blocks for the 295's. Anyone want a couple of cherry used 280's with FC blocks installed let me know. They are two sweet cards

God, I don't know which to choose!!!!!! I just got my gtx 295's and While I really like the design on your block shoggy, I just got rid of my EK 9800gx2 blocks and I liked how they performed! Plus on my x58 board the Swiftech SLI fitting worked perfect with the cards right next to each other. The way the fittings connect to yours it wouldn't let me do this, but eddys blocks look like I can do the same thing!! By the way Eddy, your 9800GX2 blocks rocked!! Keep up the good work!

WOW is there a problem with saying quad sli is broken? because quad CF is too.... I was just saying before that the 2 280s are better generally than 2 295's, but then I was reminded andy is using them for crunching then obviously 2 295s are better.why do you constantly have to troll nvidia 295 threads?
why do you constantly say i'm trolling? is it because you think that quad SLI isn't broken?
Hey guys,
Take a look here:

well I was originally just trying to give a word of friendly advice to a fellow member.... 2 gtx 280's does outperform a 295..... I didn't even say a nvidia is worse than ati or anything
I will agree with you on that one.... you didnt have any Nvidia bashing it that post. so we can get this thread back on track with the WATER BLOCK for the GTX295
I wonder if the Evga Back plate/cover will fit with the waterblock on, it should

Why are people, and admins no less, taking this far off topic?
I thought this thread was about waterblocks for the 295?
Anyways, looking forward to Eddy's block.
EK is, imho, by far the most attractive waterblocks.

more attractive than Koolance? RLY?
"Thing is, I no longer consider you a member but, rather a parasite...one that should be expunged."
have to admit I like the Koolance Nickle and acrylic middle thats just sexy..
I'd say without seeing the DD offering yet, without question the Koolance is indeed as you say the sexiest yet...

Depends on how you define attractive then I guess. For looks alone I agree, but I have seen no evidence that it also performs as good as it looks.

I am not that concerned with form over function and would be happy enough with great performance, I currently have two EK blocks and they are stellar performers. I have never used Koolance so I can not really comment but they seem to be popular.
Eddy, was just curious if you are going to make a plexi version of this block?, with 5mm holes for leds. Just like the GX2
