This is a pretty good point... I totally agree with CooledByWater...

I don't know if all the boards have this problem, but I really can't see just ONE board going with such a big error of the holes position... We are talking about almost 5mm error...

Considering that my home-made block (finished it today... ) has a main channel of approximatelly 7mm diameter, this is very important... Instead of having the die positioned directly with the water intake you will have it in line mostly with cooper around the channels... That's surely not nice...

Hope ET can comment on this...
