Finally got my custom waterblocks from nateman_doo for my AE11 board. Lots more pictures in my build log, but here are a few for those unwilling to hop to another forum.

How much did they cost you if you don't mind me asking?

I don't mind you asking at all.....but I don't know if nateman_doo charges everyone the same, so I don't want to give away what I paid. What I will say is that the blocks were significantly higher priced than the ones I got for my board from Mips. But....you have to expect that with a small batch from a custom waterblock producer working out of his garage. And when he started on this batch, he was the only game in town. Mips had not yet come out with their waterblocks for the AE11. And now...since Mips is no longer....he is again, the only game in town. I think he did less than 15 in this first batch, and because of many unforseen delays....it took damn near a year to get them done. You can find him on the EVGA forums if you are interested. He does good work. I may try and get him to do a full copper top for both of these blocks for me soon. That would be pretty freakin' cool. I'll be testing the performance of this block vs the Mips block and will document in my build log.
Nice.
Good to hear!

They are clean looking. It is pretty cool to have custom work of that quality.
