Watercooled R4E

 
Different tops and metal.

Acetal - black plastic look
Plexi - clear slightly frosted
Nickel - nickel plated copper to give silver polished look
Copper - plain copper base, less likely to develop flaking issues but doesn't look as nice as nickel plate.

Take your pick, match one of the top two with one of the bottom too and you have your block :)

Worth noting no real temp gains from nickel over copper.
 
Thanks for the quick replys everyone

If I went for this then would I be ok with flaking issues.

The discription of the block mentions a maximum compression fitting size of 22.2mm does this mean I would be ok with most normal sized fittings.

Edit I already have this kit for my next build would the compression fittings used in it be compatable and have enough room on the blocks above.

It just means you probably can't use 1/2" compressions on the chipset part (the big one) as the outer rings would clash, this is quite common with motherboard blocks as my soon to be ordered XSPC BBXPII blocks have the same issue.

You'll be fine with 7/16 and lower compressions OR barbs of any size, the raystorm kits use 7/16 so you should be fine, if you do find it clashes either put some 1/2 barbs on or stick an angled fitting on one of the ports.
