The flip side is that HE is damn lucky that the users HERE buy his products.

I concur. Let's not forget that it was us enthusiasts that propelled Swiftech. There's a reason why manufacturers, CEO's, resellers participate here; we represent an important part of their customer base and it helps them to keep in touch of what it is us enthusiasts are after.
Which I think could keep being beneficial for all parties involved if we can keep our manners ^^
Profiteering is a word to describe a particularly ugly conduct, and should be used with Xtreme care.
And just to get it off my chest, 150% markup=/=150% profit.
Argh! Using Marketing terms again. This spells trouble. I can fell my bowels twitching already.
I thought a whole lot of people pissing and moaning was a concensus?
If ever there was a "Tempest in a Teapot" it's this thread lol.
Copper is unworkable/Delrin incorrect for the application--been stated. Gabe's got a design element that is not going to change--been stated. AF made one for personal use--been stated.
The rest: pricelss
A thread like this would be more at home on OverClock.net--where no one reads or listens...just posts and spouts their POV...lol
As posted above perhaps the next block is where the focus needs to go.
EDIT: Just so there is no question: I think it's great that gabe and OP are here and respond to the peanut gallery. This peanut has been well pleased with many Swiftech products--just not real keen on the GTX for several reasons.
This thread needs to be blown away. It's getting to warm in here. As for Gabe he could not message in here and still sell his blocks. If I was Gabe, I wouldn't even respond on this thread, anymore. As always, Mob Mentality Rules. :rolleyes:
Yeah the mob that buys his complete range of products, also known as "loyal customers". If I didn't have a 5000, GT, GTX, MCW30, MCW60, MCR220-320, DDC's, D5's, and radboxes..then yeah I'd have shut up. But I figure for a guy that's spent a lot of money on Swiftech products, it'd grant me the right to talk to the CEO, provide suggestions, and question him on his decisions in order to gain more insight.
I may not be a stock holder, but I'm one of the many here that purchase the products that make his stock holders happy.
I have seen the Copper-Housing for the GTX at swiftechs website. I am living in Germany and would like to know, how I could get one and what it would cost me?
Will it be available at www.aquatuning.de as they are a german swiftech-dealer?
Thank you for an answer :)
