    Some paint skills :D.
    Red - Drilled holes
    Blue - water in/out
    Green - closed holes
    I hope you get my point. Has anyone done something like that? Will it work?

    Looks like a crude version of the Little River White Water block...

    how big are those holes going to be? i dont think you going to get any impressive performance with that.

    I haven't thought about measures yet, because this is just a idea.

    That's basically how the first waterblocks were made, at least before milling came into the picture. If you want a homebrew block it'll work, but the performance won't come remotely close to a CNC'd commercial block.

    Am I missing something here? Are there any pictures meant to load?

    All I see is this somewhat confusing text:

    Some paint skills .
    Red - Drilled holes
    Blue - water in/out
    Green - closed holes
    I hope you get my point. Has anyone done something like that? Will it work?

    It wouldn't be terribly effective. If you had a CNC mill you could make some uber good blocks. I would recommend sandblasting the channel for turbulence and such.

    Pretty much exactly the same blocks have been made back around ~2001ish...they can be seen over at overclockers.com watercooling section You might also find my own thread here at bit-tech of some use...best of luck with the fabrication mate

    New project:
    Similar to one that I saw here lately.
    Here i glued 3 of 3mm plexi glasses together. Then drilled and filed, then added 2 more plexi glasses.

    The plan is to add there a copper plate and solder some ribs there.

    Look forward to seeing the complete block buddy BIG fan of DIY projects :) Just a tip with the acrylic perspex (incase your not aware), 'normal' two part epoxys and "super glues" don't stick plexi very well, you will find you can pull them apart rather easily, what you need is Methyl Methacrylate or methyl trichloride (chloroform) based plexi cement like Weldom #6 or #16 I use this myself along with Acrifix 192, which requires UV light to cure...These cements actually 'eat into' the plexi and bond them together making it almost impossible to seperate...here's a pic of the Acrifix anywayz soz don't have one of Weldon handy-->

    Again best of luck with your build :)
