Just curious if anybody has bought from them? They have some pretty smooth looking blocks. Check out that 3 x 90mm radiator in the discontinued section.

I'm curious as to why this would be restrictive? Those big ass tubes provide for a much bigger area for water to flow against than the typical flat tube channel radiators.

The tubing might be less restrictive than the channels in a heatercore, but there's a whole lot more of it. This will not cool any better than a Boneville in most cases.

Edit: Actually, the tubing is probably more restrictive AND there's more of it. I say this because the channels in a heatercore run in parallel and in my Boneville HC there's probably like 5 channels in each pass (I'm too lazy to take off the shroud and count). This also allows the water to move more slowly through each channel, which will allow for more heat transfer.
 
BTW, Silverprop makes some excellent blocks. I personally have only used their GPU block (The Fusion HL), and it is excellent, brought my 6800 ultra load temps down from 75* idle stock to 38* idle now. I havent used their CPU of NB blocks, but Ive heard good things about them. For a CPU block, swiftech is probly still a better bet (cheaper and just as good if not better), but if you really want an NB block theirs might be a good choice. For GPU though, you cant top it.

My friend has similar results with a Maze4 low-pro Acetal. He maxes at 52*C load.. 6800GT PCI-e @ 428/1160
