Still - would not have been able to help you out with a G5 for at least 2 months anyway.

LOL Cathar,

Santa writes back to tell you your presents wont arrive till Febuary 25th..

Hehe.

Im the same school of thought as jellybeard999, I dont think that block will make all that much difference as long as you get something decent.

I think the swifty MCW6002 would be my personal choice if a G5 is too long a wait or too expensive.

amduser: any english reviews on these two german blocks?

thx :)

notorious: use babelfish.altavista.com :D

don't know if there any english review of them, but there thow a few on german.
http://www.watercoolplanet.de/index.php?open=4&show=1#NexXxoS%20XP ,which is not realy the best cause the testing system is actuaaly more comparebel with athlon xp oder pentium 3 cpu's (*cpu's without heatspreader*). on hardware ist a more pratical review without a real test system but a real computer (*too, not the best, but better cause a a64 is used*). the heatkiller performce like the nexxxos xp rev2.0 but doesn'T kill that much the flow.

em, ever that about the fact that work is not that cheap in german and watercool is quite a small (*alphacool is a real big industry concern and watercool has like 5 workers*)

don't know if it is stainless steel. i have rev2.0 of the heatkiller block for about one year and it doesn't have corrosion problem jet, but i use some currosion blockers (*or however it is called in english*). by the way, watercool ist german and zern is austrian. sites of the both company'S are: www.watercool.de and www.zern.at.

ok. thanks for the info... most deffinetly going to contact them. do their PR guys speak any english?

sure they do. will not be the best, but you will understand it. it might be as good as mine, but i exepect it'll be better cause i'm a real noob when it come to languages (*writing*). normaly you have to learn english at a high standert in germany. like 75% of the 18+ to 40 inhabitants can speak pretty good english. so it'll be strange if they can't. austria is nearly as german normaly, so i expect there no difference.

ok cool. and ur English is fine man. Not the best in the world but its just fine.
