Thanks for all of the positive comments. :)
As long as you have two consecutive 5.25" bays and 5" available behind the unit (plus nozzle/hose space), it should.Quote:

Does the front cover prevent this unit from being pushed back some into the case?
If I wanted to keep this in two 5.25" bays, but hide the front of this unit with bay covers (TJ-07) and use the back 5.25" frame mounting holes in the case, is it possible? I like the clean "all bay cover" look, but like this idea.
What are the plugs that extend across reservoir interior made of?
This is the Koolest thing ever. Dammit, why do I have to wait until the 27th to order! My build awaits!
Plus now I have a use for that extra 400 pump :D
The front aluminum bezel is wider than the acrylic window and acetal body of the unit. The bezel is 148mm x 85mm, while the body is 146mm x 84mm. Whether you can insert it deeper into your 5.25" bays would depend on your chassis, but I don't think the bezel itself will fit that far back without having the sides shaved down 1mm on either side.Quote:

Hey Tim, nice work with that unit!Quote:

Right now, we offer only UPS on our website.Quote:

eta Feb 23, 2011, so not available yet?
BTW, does it cause any vibration between the reservoir and the case? I don't see any rubber pads/grommets there, so I'm little worried.
^^^^
+1 on both...was ready to order it this week and saw eta has changed :mad:
I was all ready to order one myself then I checked back on the site again and saw the ETA was delayed again :(
I'm so glad that I decided to wait and not buy 2 new D5s and the 450X2.
Just to confirm, this will allow for 2 PMP400's to run in serial? Is there an image available illustrating the flow path from one pump outlet to the other's inlet?
From what I understand, the flow path for serial operation is external, done with your own fittings. You leave the plug separating the two res chambers in place. The first pump pumps into the second pumps res.
That's the main improvement over the first design, is the separate chambers in the res to allow for proper serial operation.
I am axiously awaiting a performance review, and hope to get one very soon (pending good reviews);)
The ETA wasn't pushed back, we sold out our first shipment in a few hours last Friday. There is a fair amount being shipped today to resellers, I would check with those guys later this week for stock. We may also be able to get another shipment brought in before that next 2/23 ocean arrives.Quote:

Thanks for the picture :D thats how I understood it to work, although the rep seems to be contradicting that, and the manual has not much to say about it at all.:shrug:
All I want to know before I order one, is how much better it performs than a DDC/XSPC res top, to make sure its worth buying another pump.
