Observation: After careful examination of Mr. Doo I find he is Human NOT Octopus,sadly this confirms that he has only 2 hands and that is why he went the Route of C.N.C....as a Former Machinist(3rd Gen.) it also appears Mr. Doo also uses the machinist Work Standard as taught to me by my father..."The parts will be ready as soon as they are done!" and something I've taken from Tattooing and adopted it for this case....
Quick made Blocks are not Good.
Good Blocks are not made Quick.


How do we highlight these posts?  Like we used to do in the old forums??  Took the words right out of my mouth.  If I was doing this full time I could be knocking them out.  However, since the POMA act, I went back to work.  No paychecks yet... but "its in the mail".  So that means I got a few days to try and catch up (2 days sadly) and now its back to work all this week.  I am ALMOST finished with the ASrock batch!! hallelujah!  Then I can start the fixture plate for these blocks.



 
If you build it they will come ....

I'm not asking for a deadline guys. Just a guess. Are we talking weeks? Months? 2014?
 
Take all the time you need Nate.

Weeks is a good word to use.

Great. Best of luck and let us know any new developments please.
 
I saw your recent vid for the Extreme 11. Those blocks looks great as well. Made me wish I had that mobo so I could get one of the blocks haha.

Man these water blocks are beautiful! I wish I could afford some of the awesomeness but it'll be a while before I can. I do have an idea for a design challenge though: water cooled 3 1/2" to 5/14" hard drive adapters. Single to five bay design that could hold from one to seven drives.  But it's just an idea, not a request for work.

Hi Nate,
 
Can't PM for now so posting. I'm interested in eVGA Dark water block. Can you PM me for details how to order when you'll have time.
 
Thanks

Looks like too long wait both for MoBo and blocks :( Will go ASUS RIVE (both MB and blocks are available).

It's been over 6 weeks now since I put down my deposit, and it doesn't look like the ASRock Xtreme11 board blocks are finished yet either, which likely means these are a few more weeks/months away yet. I feel like we have been very patient and understanding especially as this is a 'home-operated' business and trying to squeeze family life in also... However...
 
As much as I love the look and 'custom'-ness of a Nateman_doo block, The Asus RIVE-BE will be here shortly and EK have confirmed they will be making a block for it. So between the time it's taking for a block for the Dark, and also the fact that the Dark seems to still have a very hit and miss BIOS I'm starting to think about switching...

If it's only 1 or 2 weeks away, then I'm happy to wait, but if it's going to be another month...
 
Are you able to provide us with an update as to what's going on?
 
Thanks nateman_doo.

Count me out now, too. Pre-ordered the RIVBE and will throw the EK blocks on whenever they arrive. I feel like Nate should have taken advantage of the interest in the Dark blocks before Asus rolled out the RIVBE because I can't see many people opting for the Dark when the BE is available... only reason would be to save a few bucks imo. Glad I didn't put down a deposit, personally I'd be pretty upset after 6-weeks of no action.
 
Keep it up though, nateman...  I may no longer be interested in the Dark blocks but I still have a lot of respect for what you're doing. No hard feelings but it is just taking a lot longer than I had anticipated. Best of luck!
