isn't it always the same? you see so many ek blocks and none are that much different, I slowly have enough of them.

They are all extremely similar and that's a good thing. Their entire product line, which is extremely expansive, all look coherent together. Coming out with a wild GPU block design that then didn't match the CPU blocks, board blocks, pump tops... etc would be nasty. Teamed with the fact their aesthetic is so simple and they are so well finished then it makes sense for them to keep playing it conservatively.

I'm alright with the form fitting with the rest of their products, that has to stay, just more customisation options, some colored bits or green/red plexi instead of clear.

Don't you just go Plexi and then use coloured coolant :eek: they have colour backplates and fittings... between all that it seems versatile enough. Finding sheet plastics in suitable thickness for waterblocks and nice little machined components is challenging and the choice is essentially limited to clear polished acrylic, acetal natural (white) and acetal black. I suppose if they were serious enough they could have custom acrylic made however that would require an epic of order of many many massive sheets. They do exactly what anyone would if they were trying to make blocks.
