I placed my order, hope I get one.

@YoooH: not quite sure if I got your question right. The additional plates are exactly the same to the ones that already come with the block - so no difference here. If you mean the RAM module itself I can not tell you any numbers since this is so much different from module to module.
@eKirts: you will have to ask them yourself. I can not comment on such things.
How are the XT orders coming up? I ordered mine in the beginning of march...
Thanks for answering everybody so quickly Shoggy
I would say XT and PRO is pretty even now. We shipped a lot of XT devices today.
Any updates on the software progress Shoggy?
Programmer thinks mid May.
Shoggy .... maybe you can help me here. I received my 3 Poweradjust II's and the face plate. In attempting to mount them I ran into a problem. Namely I couldn't figure out how. I know, sounds dumb. Anyways, in the picture I show the side plate (for drive bay mounting, between the face plate and the Poweradjust II. As you can see, on both sides, this places the Poweradjust II's at an angle and overtightening could torque the PCS. Also, this makes the little flat head screw barley engage the standoff it threads in to. Finally, it pulls the light pipe farther away from the front plate. Am I missing something? I would think you would simply enclose a couple more standoff at are shortened, by the thickness of the side plate, and also a couple of longer flat head screws for more thread engagement.
Thanks,
John
Shoggy .... sort for yet another post, but on the AE5, I installed the waterblock and both the screws that came with the default heatsink and with the waterblock (they are all plastic) bottom out in the waterblock before tightening. I really didn't expect this. Thoughts? Also, the waterblock "rocks around" a little on the chips. I would have thought there would have been a little more support points in the design. I'm afraid that any torque what-so-ever on the fittings on the waterblock will make the seating bad between the waterblock and the chips.
Thanks,
John
jcrouse, you need spacers for the bay mount. If you look at the product photos you can see they use nylon washers.
The front cover comes with 16 M3 washers. You have to place them here:

On the outer left and right you won't need them! This way the controllers are aligned to the front cover correctly :)
Finally a North American distributor.........
Looks like performance PCs now has the Pro model in stock

Sidewinder is shooting for two weeks until they have the XT in stock... according to Gary
:)
@ Shoggy
What with IR Booster?
Some way to extend area of IR keyboard?
Thinking of XT version but my Aquaero will be hide behind case door and if there is no way to keep keyboard working I will choose PRO version..
I know lots of people were looking out for availability via Sidewinder.com, Sidewinder should (as per info on their site) get the Aquaero 5 in stock during the month of May, imo the prices are pretty competitive.
XT - http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/aq4usbfawhwi.html - US$190.00
PRO - http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/aq4usbpufanc.html - US$140.00
Due to my scheduling needs (needed it for May 16th) I purchased via Aquatuning.us, Delivery was fast, receipt within 2 days.
I purchased a Pro + Power Adjust 2 + Black Faceplate + Heat Sink. I hope I didn't have to purchase a separate cable to connect the Power Adjust 2 to the Pro...
If I have (2) PowerAdjust 2 where do I plug the second one into the AE5 XT? According the the manual, the PA2 can only plug into the Aquabus 2 channel "high" which there is only 1, the other is low.
Is there a way to daisy chain the PA2 together?
Also, WTB PA2 manual in english please.
@pociej: th IR-Booster will be available later. It only transmits data so i can not be used as receiver. The only way to extend the range of the keyboard would be to relocate the IR sensor of the aquaero to another place. It is only soldered with three points to the board and can be accessed easily.
@ohms: the poweradjust has two aquabus connectors so you can connect the second controller to the first one. Before you connect them to the aquaero you must change the aquabus of ID of one controller. To do so connect one of them via USB, run the current aquasuite and change the ID from 50 to 51 for example. Save the settings into the device. This step is necessary because otherwise the aquaero will not be able to differ between both controllers.
Shoggy- I got the optional heatsink with the Pro version, I was wondering if i could use metal screws instead of the stock ones that came with the heat sink, Will metal ones affect the AE5?
Sidewinder has them listed now.
@ximius: you can use more than one aquaero with the aquasuite. The software differs between them by their serial numbers.
@kdmaka: it is possible but be careful because you can get a much higher pressure with them where the plastic screws would slip in the thread.
