Ugly plastic plugs already come in (free) with the rads (but no orings).Quote:

If I use my (beautiful) chrome plugs, these are expensive..($5 a pair) and I am concerned they would jack-up price unnecessarily.

ugly yes. but why not include 2 o rings with them.
This is why I would not want your fittings, I would rather have the option of using 38mm fans. I may be misunderstanding what you stated, but based on that alone I would not want fittings included. Also, as stated before, most of us have extra fittings so why pay for them if you are not going to use, especially if it reduces cost by $10.Quote:

Gabe, we have nothing against your fittings; just have tons of them in drawers and don't want to add to the mess!
gabe, i am sorry but i would like to bring the sli fittings in again.
i just check and from the specs 25mm is the shortest distance.
is there anyway you could confirm that or otherwise.
to me, this would be a great solution for a short distance fitting solution.
or maybe it fit with 38mm fans.
if i understand correctly the rads have G1/4 fittings on both sides
Great idea looks like ill have to pick up some new rads
daaaamn... I just bought myself an MCR320 the other day... shoulda waited a bit longer. I guess now I'll just have to upgrade even more:clap:.
I say make the fittings optional. That way, those who need them can get them, and those who don't need them (already have some/have thicker fans/whatever) don't have to bother with them :up:
very nice
Vote against. I like the idea, but if I'm going to the trouble of stacking two rads, a 38mm fans are going in-between, that setup doesn't look like it would be friendly to the larger spacing. But I realize there are a few logistical issues to having separate SKU's.
AWESOME!!!! I was gonna get another single 120, but i see no reason to now, will just get another 320 :P it'll fit perfectly in my setup :P
I think that the poll is somewhat unclear on what you are actually voting on, and should not be taken as a decisive tool.
Are you referring to the fittings between the radiators or the pair on the stackable rad?
People aren't interpreting the poll correctly. This is for the fittings that connect the radiators together. I voted to include the fittings BETWEEN THE RADIATORS as they're a bit harder to come across.
I think he's saying that 25mm is not what SLI fittings come in...the fittings that are included will do 25mm+ :)Quote:

they are? they're just stubby barbs, or sli barbsQuote:

From what I'm seeing so far, this radiator might be ideal for stacking. :)
I still don't think people get whats going on.
What he is saying is, I can jack the price up and include 4 stubby fittings so you can connect the radiators, or I can keep the price low and you can get whatever you want.
I would rather not use stubbys and get D-Plugs or any sli connector so thats why I am voting no.
i have a MCR220-QP Res... will you make MCR220-QP Res-STACK?
i would love to stack two of those without trowing away my MCR
Nice, i didnt see this coming. Excellent idea Gabe.
Fittings... i would like to have it come with the fittings between the rads and 2 plugs. For the 2 last fittings i would rather use fatboys or my own modified EK fittings.
Edit: Btw, how much of an increase in performance would this be? ish... Is the stacked mcr220 as good as 1 mcr320? (lets say with yates)
I see what you are saying Vapor and that does make sense, still, I use compression fittings and I would probably just use sli/cf fittings in between them for a little extra strength. Now I have not seen anyone mention this, but I wonder how a few of these stacked together would do, i.e. 5 of them stacked. Would the restriction be too much and a complete waste? How much of a return do you get when you add one, then two, then three, etc..
By the way, nice job Gabe for getting this too the market. Nice to see Swiftech still being innovative with rads as they are with their blocks.
