The second one doesn't say a size, but you can clearly see that it is just a regular water block with L's built in...if you want that, you can get the L's yourself.

Do you have a dremel? If you do, you could get 4 squares of copper, carve identical water circuit paths into each, and then bond them together to have 2 custom water blocks. Just make sure to drill the mounting holes first or you might be kicking yourself later.
i had already though of doing so, but the fact is i'm gonna spend like 3/4 the amount of money buying the copper, plus the time i'd have to spend on it... i'm not quite sure... As for the dimension, 40x40 is in fact the cell dimension, isn't it? and RSX should be 42x42... i'd be obviously buying two of em... if those wouldn't work, which ones should i get?
