So i just soldered all the parts together, and ill get pictures up later.
Basically, I took a copper end cap for a pipe and lapped the bottom. Then with another exact part, I cut the majority of the copper off so that I was left with a circular copper disc. This disc then had two wholes drilled into it, inwhich the tube nipples were inserted. Then the disc was attached to the lapped copper, and a complete part was made.
Only thing left for the block is to make a mounting bracket for socket 775. I plan on making it out of Lexan, because i have a large supply of that from another project. It wont lose its spring, so there will be constant even pressure on the cpu itself.
EDIT: made it out of a copper tube that I crushed into a bar w/ a vise*
*old idea*For a radiator, I have been thinking of creative things to do. One of my best ideas (imo) is to take a garden hose and lay it in perimeter of my basement. (average temp of the concrete is 60F) Because the diameter is upwards of an inch, flow and friction for the water shouldnt be an issue at all. And, with 30ft of contact with the concrete, im sure ill dissipate a large amount of heat. If the hose cant dissipate that much heat, then I will use copper pipe (expensive!)
I'll do some testing later with some fish pond pumps.(I plan on using this for the actual thing, is this going to be a problem?)
EDIT: Pics +update
Right after soldering

I bought a new pump that does 150gph and have been thinking of some new radiator ideas, because the garden hose isnt dissapating much heat....
Thinking a copper bowl/bucket with a flat bottom sitting on the concrete floor w/ a small fan blowing over it?
Leak tested, and it didnt leak! Tomarrow night i will make a mounting braket and maybe get some temps, probably friday though
EDIT 2:
Got the bracket done, and have a temperary radiator. Hooked it all up, and my idel temps are at 33C
I'll get some pics up soon

RAD. EDIT:
So my dehumidifier went bad. Because it uses a special type of freeon, I can't add more like i would be able to on an air conditioner in a car or something.
Open it up, and I see two gorgeous radiators! One uses 3/8" pipe, and the other uses 1/4" pipe. They are both about 10"x10", and have ~30 passes through them. I figure they would work perfect. Ill get some pics of them tomarrow. I plan on putting them in my case, so I can get rid of the hose!
