Default Help finding waterblocks for a 7900gtx

I'm looking around trying to find waterblocks for the new Nvidia 7900 GTX cards. I've found one or two on danger den's site, but they cost around $125 which seems a little steep. But on the same token, I don't want a cheap product that won't get the job done. Are there any other reputable manufacturers of waterblocks that people like? Can anyone help me find decent waterblocks for this particular card?

Although I have not installed it yet (Im in NY its in FL at home), I love my swiftech MCW60. It comes with a GPU waterblock and RAM heatsinks. Swiftech and DD make the best watercoolings parts, and this sucker is designed to fit in a compact SLI setup, and it is only $60.

Reviews of the MCW60 have the core clock of a 7900GTX at like 800Mhz and running at temperatures that were lower then stock speed and stock cooling temperatures.

That looks like it's the solution for me. That block is half the price of the Danger Den ones. Do you have a link to those reviews?
