Just a quickie about the Swiftech komodo blocks for my 7950's are they any good, or are they all bling and no brains, so to speak. I have heard some mixed reports from people saying they are the best blocks ever, right to they are awful. Has any one got any experience with them, are they worth the hefty £110 a pop, considering I need 2 ?

I have not used one so by all means take what I say with a few inches of salt 
The damn thing looks the d... b.....'s
and the reviews I've read do give it a very good write up (overall best build and best cooling; probably)
BUT for £100 each....
I have been looking for a fc 7950 block for a bit and settled on an EK - looks, cover and cooling are , probably, not as good as the swiftech but the one I bought was somewhat less than £100
I have not yet installed the EK but it looks nice to me and the reviews I've read lead me to believe that it will do a good enough job.

They are dam sexy, I just can't justify the price at £110 a pop, and then £25 for the XFire bridge, so £245 no way. I've got the Alphacool Nexxxos v2, and my temps are great, they are not far of half the price of the swiftech, plus I can get the 2nd one I need for £49 in a B grade section.
