Botox for blocks?
Will they look like this?
Seriously, it's good to see it being treated as Swift's market leader.

Well for those of us who already purchased the block, its quite a hefty investment. However, for someone still looking for a new block, a $10 premium makes it definitely worth it for the peace of mind.
I'm still planning to buy two. Any chance these will get released to resellers or will we have to purchase direct?

Nope, this is just a replacement housing for existing GTX blocks. Sold completely by itself, assembly required
Once assembled, it makes for one heavy water block.

Do we buy this through a retail seller site or off the swiftech site because the swiftech site never lets you complete an online transaction.
In order to use Swiftech online store you have to use www.Swiftnets.com instead of Swiftech.com. Their SSL certificate is broken, though.
omg im siggin this and replacing the other one.YOu use koolance anyway, why does this matter to you? Seen the price of a koolance kit lately?
Also wheres GAbe? i wanted to thank him personally for releasing the top. He definite deserves a praise for this.

it's not bad.. i'm tempted to paint the hold down plate black though.
the fins on the top are PERFECT unlike the other top with all the chips in them
What does that mean?YOu use koolance anyway, why does this matter to you? Seen the price of a koolance kit lately?
No, I do not use koolance as of now? I've used it before and it was part of my cooling experience.
What's with you hating everything koolance?
It's just a name and you seem to have a problem with me?
I have not offended anyone here.

So what is that silvercolored finish on the top? It looks different from the one pictured in the OP.
Sorry no problem, no offense intended. But your handle is k00lance so I assumed that is what you use. Sorry for the mistake. Silly me.What does that mean?

Well, I have all my parts ordered today except the CPU Block. Soon, I will get my feet wet (I hope not literally). I think I'll hold off on the CPU Block for a week and see if the all Copper GTX becomes available.

Honestly, I think the Fuzion is a way better performer for the price now than the Apogee GTX with a copper top. I'd buy the Fuzion instead of the GTX(copper) and take the little money I save and go buy a few hardee's burgers :-D
Question for you:
How do you know that? As far as I've heard no one even has tested one yet?
If they have and I missed it I'll gladly apologise.

Hmm, it's the same blockI think he has a point though, the fuzion may take the price/performance crown
Well it doesn't seem like having a copper top would provide any real performance boost to the block. Everyone has a personal sense of worth or value when it comes to price/performance ratio. I don't he meant to offend anyone by stating that, in his opinion, the price/performance value of the fuzion is better.
Is it me or are people more sensitive than ever these days?
Anyway, I agree that a stealth copper block would be too heavy for a graphics. The stealth I'm using now weighs a ton compared to the MCW60 or an EK full cover block.
Any chance there will be an Arylic or delrin version, naked copper looks ugly and at $40US, that's expensive for us aussies
I reckon a black delrin version would look awesome, but a nickel plated copper top would be look gorgeous, it'd cost a fair bit though

Nah, I didn't take it personal at all..
I am curious though if having that copper top will aid at all in cooling.
It's the right material for the job.
Now I am a WC n00b so if that comment is laughable I'll laugh along with you.

Just for my own curiosity, could someone that has a Stealth that's currently not mounted, please take it apart completely and weigh just the top (no fittings/gasket) and post the weight?
I'll be at Swiftech today lapping Stealth baseplates. I'll throw a housing on a scale and get back to you on the weight.
