Somehow they released that version for everybody (and no other version) and thought we would all pay the same price as that...one guy.
Anyway, for some of us, being able to only need 2 compression fittings instead of 4 is a good $30 savings right there. Also, EK is going with acetal/acrylic top, not brass so hopefully that will help kep prices low and no dout he well release the base of the block with and wihout nickle platting as he has done in the past.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Probably won't release te price till he is ready to go into production.
Please make the cooler nickle plated. the copper-look would ruin the classified-style.
please make a space for the plate that is mounted on top of the original sb-cooler.
if the engraved font is inside this 0.5-1.0mm deep space, the buyers can decide
to mount the original sb-classified-plate on top of the engraved one and glue it on there... :-)
that would look outstanding.
just one thing would look even better:
engrave the logo with the same font/style as the original logo (sb/packaging etc.).
Please.... this is the only missing part in my "CLASSIFIED" HighEndPC
I don't know how fussy EVGA is about copyright, but using the Classified logo in the block might spell trouble...Quote:

Classified can not be a trade mark.Quote:

im worried its gonna be 50 more then that. :\Quote:

Oh man eddy, i hope you go easy on our wallets.
LOL nice to see bridges are being used more. Definitely great concept block tho eddy.
:P
Very nice! I hope that a nickel version of that beautiful block come out!
Glad to help you Eddy, keep the price low and we have a winner :D
I prefer black acetal plus red top, match the classified theme.
That red acrylic is a must! If I can afford this I'd love to purchase one this sexy beast of a block (it also depends on how hot my board runs).
Even if this block were to be $200, which I doubt, it would still be a better deal than the overpriced BP block as you would also be cooling the VREG which would cost you an extra $50 for the VREG block from BP putting it at $225.
Not to mention you use less tubing and only two vs. four fittings ;)Quote:

Hi, lets stop this discussion about EVGA logo. :)
We will not use it, as it would mean too much trouble aplying a permission for it.
Sadly there is no RED FLUO acrylic, only orange, yellow and green if I am correct. So we will use "only" red coloured transparent acrylic material.
No estimated price?
Sounds good :up: Red is the only choice really :)Quote:

Can you imagine how slippery that is? Even if he says a hunderd times that it's just an estimate and it could change, people will latch on to a named price. And there'll probably be undue drama, especially if the estimate was too low.Quote:

Just my 2c. :p:

OK, price should be in EUR from 100-110 EUR, in USD about 135 to 150.
Have to check the manufacturing time yet.
I hope this is not against forum regulations.
Yup, your banned for eternity!:p:Quote:
