[Admins: I should have named this "Koolance Dual DDC *Single Bay* Reservoir! (RP-401X2)"]
We didn't stop with our dual 5.25 DDC reservoir unit (RP-402X2). We've now managed to provide the same features in a single 5.25" bay. So if you have only one drive bay available, we offer the new RP-401X2!
Yes, you can still do one pump or two, in serial or parallel, and combine or separate the reservoirs. We also have a serial pipe connector kit available for this product. Combining the reservoirs is achieved through the bottom this time, by removing a stainless steel cover plate and removing a standard G 1/4 socket plug (pics below).
This product is easier to bleed than the original RP-402X2, but I would say takes a little more time than the Rev1.2 with the bleed kit. It's certainly do-able, though. I completed one with dual pumps using the serial connector pipe and acrylic piece, with both pumps at 12V, in about 10min. It helps to have an actual load on the loop via rad/blocks/etc. when bleeding, though.
There were two things we dropped to fit two DDC pumps and reservoirs into a single 5.25" bay. RP-401X2 has only top fill ports and none on the front window [UPDATE: Front fill ports are now available on Revision 1.1.]. Also, this unit won't take our PMP-400/DDC heat sinks or DDC with plastic feet (they need to be cut).
Pics!
