The bottom copper section is 0.5" tall, and the plastic top is 0.25, making it 0.75" tall all together.

So, I'm new here, and couldn't help but notice your waterblocks. I'm curious, though. Do you do runs by request, and if so, how much would a block cost, on average. I have a Rampage IV Gene, and would love a block for the chipset and VRM. Unfortunately, the only ones I could find have been discontinued.

I don't really do single blocks, unless its an offer I can't refuse.  LOTS of time and effort go into a single block, so its more economical to make batches.  If I get enough requests, then I happily make them.  I tend to make blocks that manufacturers don't simply because I can't compete with them. 
 
Pic as promised:

 
8 completely cut copper bottoms!
 
This isn't the end of it.  They have to be sandblasted, coated with the gun coating, tapped, O-ring installed, and then I have to make the Delrin tops. 
 
Drilling more holes on the tool plate at the moment.

An empty tool plate all drilled out:

All 40 some blind holes have to be tapped now... Just like these:

That is going to take a WHILE.  I won't be able to finish it today, and if I even THINK to set foot in my basement for Christmas, my wife would have my head.  So I set some time thursday and friday aside to finish this.
 
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!
