Well, I'm saddened; the block doesn't cover the chipset.

At least it covers the VRMs.

I'd like to know how someone fits a custom loop in a mITX case as is.

EVOLV ITX has numerous places for mounting water cooling radiators (as well as locations for mounting pumps/reservoirs). At the front there is up to 240mm radiator support and at the top there is up to 280mm radiator support (plus 240mm).

chipsets use so little power anymore, it would be a waste to bother watercooling it.

I get way more heat off my VRM than chipset.
Wish EK would send some M7I love my way

@draxssab: Now this may sound dumb, but I have a quick question. How do you keep the reservoir in place? How is that reservoir not slipping all over the place when you move the case?

It's this reservoir : http://www.xs-pc.com/reservoirs/acrylic-tank-reservoir-for-laing-d5

There is two tabs with screw holes, the back ones have screws trough the bottom of the case.
On the front, the stiffness of the short tube keeps it from rotating at all. I also put double sided tape on the bottom, this also reduces the vibration transfer from the pump.
I can shake the case pretty hardly (with filled reservoir) and nothing ever move. 3 years now going to LANparty with this and never had any structural problem
