I switched to the RIVE Black Edition a few months after putting a deposit on the Dark block.  Figured I'd offer it to someone else if they didn't feel like waiting for the next batch although it looks like you'll be able to crank out batch number two faster than the first.  It's a nice block, even if I never use it I don't regret the purchase one bit.

So Compression fittings like the standard G1/4 3/8"O.D. from Bitspower won't fit on the chipset block? If so, how an extender will help? At least the ones Bitspower makes for their fittings are the same diameter as the fitting themselves. Wouldn't one of the I/O ports being further down (in between the space of the first and second card and making the block a little wider to compensate for the various card lengths help in making it more "universal" to fit existing components? I mean it's just on port and there seems to be plenty of space there. Another option, would be making the block design a little wider in the top area closer to the right RAM slots. The ports only needs a few mm's more of space between them to be able to use a wider variety of fittings and barbs.

Got the nicest face mill the other day.  Sexy right?  A wonderful addition which I am most happy to have.  Thanks!

Anything else I can't say.  You guys will be the owners of the first batch.  Your feedback helps to improve. 
 
 
I am trying various mounting solutions, and I think I have found one that I like.  A combination of thermal tape, paste, spacers, and screw type.

That is going to be a tough call.  If it works, then great.  If not, then you know what fittings work.  The ones I listed also come in black.
