I'm trying to decide on a replacement top for my D5. (Don't like the position of the inlet and outlet.)

Are there any reviews of the Bitspower top (http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bid5modtop.html)?

Seems like kind of a toss up functionality-wise between that one and the EK top (http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/ekwaekxforla.html).
- The Bitspower has more options for inlet/outlet configurations
- The EK gets rid of the big ring and makes it more compact, and it's a more proven performer

Also got the DetroitAC top. It seemed to be the best at one point in time: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=330281539404

You can also look into the Typhoon III: http://www.primochill.com/typhoon-iii-reservoir-system-pec.html?csid=02fa32e98acabb6d7837e9b0f25cde55&sl=EN&currency=

Edit: here the test of some D5 tops. I don't recall where the test of the Bitspower top is, or if there is one.

Yep, I've seen the roundup, and the DetroitAC is apparently a good performer (on par with the EK) but it seems to have fixed inlet and outlet positions? Looking for a top that'll let me run both the inlet and outlet from the same side.

The Typhoon III looks interesting actually, as far as a compact combined arrangment...it'll be interesting to see the test results for that one. I think I can fit and route that setup easily with my rig.

It is fixed positions. I am using the DetroitAC atm. I am currently waiting on the test results for that Typhoon III too. From what is being said on this thread (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=228962), it seems to have alot of potential and it delivers alot more options for running loops.
