    HydroFlow HF-MK1 CPU Waterblock / For AMD, AM2, 775, 1366 / Core i7 Compatible

    Designed with the highest possible exchange rate between the block and coolant, the HydroFlow can be easily integrated into any enthusiast water cooled system and help efficiently lower the processor temperature. The HydroFlow is compatible with AMD and Intel processors, including the latest generation Core i7 CPUs.

    The triangular fins in the HF-MK1 provide the highest volume to surface ratio of any geometric shape for best dissipation possible, and this special design also creates sufficient turbulence to eliminate the “skin” effect caused by laminar flow. The base block of the HydroFlow increases center contact with the processor core for the greatest possible cooling potential, ensuring maximum exchange and functionality between the waterblock and CPU.

    Whether you’re a first-time builder or a seasoned case-modder, OCZ makes the HydroFlow easy to integrate into your rig by supplying both high-flow 3/8” and 1/2” barbs in the packaging without the hassle of searching for compatible hardware.

    This will be a huge and heavy case, if it is finished.
    The the design looks interesting. I will follow your worklog. I'm intent on the weldings.

    That's odd! I thought it would cost a ton (pretty much literally) to get that load of Lian-Li hardware...

    Ah that makes sense. I just thought you'd either get them for free or pay the full price. It would be silly if full price for all that stuff would be lower than that of their cases ;)
