Hey guys building a new system and I wasnt exactly sure what the plan was from the start but now I wish I had gone with all Swiftech Komodos but thats besides the point. As it is my new Comp has 6 7970s and 4 of which have EK water blocks and 2 don't have any yet as it is hard to find the 7970 EK. I am going to be putting the cards on two different loops one will run to a 360mm Rad and one to a 240mm Rad so I will have 4 cards on 1 loop and 2 cards on the other. So I want it to have a clean look like the SLIs have but it is proving to be harder than I thought. Each of my cards will be single slot and fill slots 1-5 & 7  so I figure cards 1 and 2 will be on one loop and cards 3-7 on another if I can find the right bridge. I really like http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/gpmuslibrfor.html because it would do exactly as I want but I am not using heatkiller blocks. I have never tried using mismatched bridges on different blocks so I am wondering if this will work.

The other two blocks will probably swiftech Komodos and I will use one of there bridges for the other two, but again they make a nice bridge that would fit over the other 4 cards as well and that would match up even better http://www.swiftech.com/crossfirexbridges.aspx. I really don't like mixing and matching but id rather do that than do the daisy chains of fittings.

Please let me know if you know about any deminsions or if you have any experience doing this as it would be much apprecaited. I know they say for heatkiller only, or for swiftech only but I have mismatched with things before and had it work out. Also any other solutions would be great too. Thank you in advance.
