Would you mind shooting a price via PM to me Trying to estimate my total cost of new water cooling before i make orders. Also im assuming thats 1/2 ID hose fittings.
You better hurry up and shoot him one yourself before all the slots are filled. I got in a few hours ago.Quote:

BTW, LMAO at that link to the aquatube corrosion.. When will they learn.
German Engineering are mostly about bling, not too much brain. Their cars break easy and their res corrode.
They have some very nice water blocks, but yes the seem to overlook the tiny detail of corrosion.
They keep stateing that there wont be a problem is you use a corrosion in hibitor. Obviously they're wrong.
just saw this thread and i have one thing to say for certain:
it's about damn time!
forever we've all been looking for a res that:
- won't leak
- won't corrode
- has decent flow characteristics
- has a variety of nozzle options
i believe this res fulfills all my dreams about what a res should be (at least what a small, internal res should be). great job nik. sent you a PM. i want it bad.
And one of the reasons for using G 1/4" thread:

heh, some bling action and finally an easy way to monitor water temps.
Man, you make me wish i had 2 spare 5.25" slots :<

not sure what you could hook that temp probe too other than the fan-o-matic.
Any timeframe as to when the res will start to get worked on? I must say this res is helping me save a load of money as I do not want to rework my setup until I get the res. The reason I want to rework my setup is when I had to adapt my FuzionHL to an x1900xt. So as of right now I still have 500 bucks in my pocket.
You dont NEED 2 spare 5.25" slots, you can mount this thing at the top of your case with this:Quote:

Just cut a 3.25" or larger hole in the top of the case, mount, done. This is why there are 5 barb ports...
We are looking at 2 weeks from the time i get materials (delrin) to the machinist, but, we are reworking the mount to mate to aqua stuff. I'd say 30 days at most.
updates??????
Can't wait to have one of these. Will be a nice replacement for the Swifty res ;)
Its been a while since the last update, so I'm also all ears hehe.

Well, not good news regarding mounting my res to existing AC plates... it is not going to happen. Essentially, my part is about 1/8" smaller in diameter than the AC part. What I am going to do however is have plates made that are the exact size as the AC parts so those will bolt right in to where someone has an AC part. We both thought and thought (me and machinist) and decided it would be to risky to attempt to move the outer mount threads further to the outside. It is a plastic part afterall, we also thought have the six bolts is better, again because it is plastic. Never the less, things will be underway starting tomorrow. I will keep this thread updated with progress Thanks to nobody and Hard911 for sending me parts!
Nik how would we go about getting in an order for this? I pm'ed you but I dont want to keep bothering you.
Are we still going to be able to screw in the LED's?
Yes.Quote:

I wish more people had the knowledge to sell high quality limited edition products like this res or storm before swiftech interfered. It sets the pace for the mainstream products.
I think all wc manufacturers should use G 1/4" threading. It should be some kind of ISO standard! I hate the fact that I can't use DD high flow fittings in my storm! :mad:
Er.... DD HiFlow fittings are 9/16-18UNF, NOT G1/4
DD PerfectSeal fittings are G1/4, and will fit the storm fine with a quick wrap of PTFE. I wish if folks were gonna moan, they'd at least get the facts right about that which they are moaning about...
Yeah, sorry I meant the PerfectSeal, ordered both and mixed up the names.
Have you tried PerfectSeal fittings on the storm? They screw down almost all the way but if you keep turning them down you get delrin shavings from the threads. Shure they would fit but it will ruin the threading.
It would work but I'm just saying it would be better if everyone used the same threading!
