I learned about skiving when I started researching building a watercooled PC. Optimus is building some nice heatsinks/water blocks in Chicago.

Thanks for this link, I was not aware of this company before and they look like an awesome waterblock company. Good USA based alternative to EK (with less selection obv.)

  The other good brand is Heatkiller. Their pump/res combos are really nice, as are their water blocks.

"Choose corrosion-proof electroless nickel finish when using liquid metal" !? What are people using?
