Modular full cover waterblock

It's not really that new a concept.

There's a lot of GPU blocks going about, not full cover blocks, and I'm sure almost every manufacturer has made them.

The principle is that the little ramsinks etc are disposable, it's not a huge expense when you upgrade the card. And you can buy a new mounting kit for the block.

What's new is D-teks unisink.

I think it's a great idea, and if I hadn't already bought my 8800 GTX block I'd be using a Twinplex on it with a unisink (if they work together).

What I _would_ like to see, and this is probably pushing the boundaries here.

I'd like to see a waterblock with an interchangable part that can be thrown away and upgraded extremely cheaply for each fitting type. In order words a couple of quid each time. But have the waterblock fitted with heatpipes.

Then each revision of cards you can pick up a pretty cheap aluminium block with connections for the heatpipe. This wouldn't be very expensive.

Hell, the WCing manufacturers could even get together and decide on a "standard" aluminium heatsink design, so that no matter who's waterblock and whos heatsink you were using they would connect together - zero, 0% chance of that happening.

But I don't think it's a terrible idea really.
