I am wanting to change my blocks so that i can just run a single line instead of splitters. that means i want to go to all 3/8" barbs at least but i would prefer 1/2" barbs (i like the clampless look of 3/8" over 1/2" barbs). I will probably change the CPU cooler to an Apogee and the GPU to a Maze 4 or somthing similar in price/performance. the chipset is my biggest problem. i dont want to move the vga card down just to fit in my block because that kills my SLi opportunities. so far the only thing i have seen that looks like it might work is the AC block but I am afraid it will kill my flowrate. I am probably going to get a second DDC12, do the inlet mod, and run them inline. so you see why i am hesitant to use the AC block. any suggestions?
 
Use the Alphacool block? IIRC they have G 1/4 threads on the block so you can easily go to 3/8" tubing with either push-fits, compression, or barbed fittings. See this link for details. You can order it from FrozenCPU.

that dosent look much better thant he AC block as far as restriction goes. frozen desent seem to have the one you pictured either TN
 
Try and get the EK block, probably your best choice as far as 3/8" SLI compatibility and low restriction is concerned.

Call Osama as he seems good at getting out of tight places. :D Otherwise send money and hope your shipment doesn't get hijacked or blown up.

Someone over at XS said that they got the block for only 51$ shipped (from slovenia to US), so it really isn't much more expensive than any of the other options.
