Ordered a test pack of 6 If all goes well I may end up with a bunch more when the rotaries get released.

What color/finish did you order?
This is gonna be one hell of a first post but then again, I've been meaning to join XS for a very, very long time.
Just did a full youtube review of these and here are the photos
More photos on my facebook
These things are pretty sick! I was going to give them to my youtube subscribers but damn, I'm gonna keep them for myself *Muwahhahahaha!*.
I really don't have an excuse to build another computer but I'll surely find one now.
I just popped in to post a link to that video and you beat me to it =)
One quick note on the wrench. I think you did it but I can't be sure, but after you snug the barb in with the wrench vertical (like a screw driver) you can get a little more torque to tighten it farther by using the wrench horizontally. Obviously there is no point in over tightening an O ringed fitting so don't go nuts =)
OK, one other note on the wrench, you can also use a coin about the size of a US quarter (1.6mm thick and 25mm in diameter) to tighten the barb in tight quarters.
When you go to take the compression ring off, if you hold the tube with your other hand while you loosen the compression ring, the barb will not spin free from your block/reservoir/rad/etc. because the tube has a lot more contact area/friction with the barb then it does with the compression ring.
Is her accent awesome or what?

Nice shot of most of the colors/finishes together. Not shown are the Orange, the chrome, and the black chrome.
LOL, they look like a candy bar from my country
vuuuu
Better candy wrappers then condom packs...I think lol.
For those asking about the 45's and 90's. Yes we are working on them as well as the other 2 tube sizes. In the interim this is how they look on BP parts. The colors add more pop on the black of course--especially the gold.
Awesome work and nice choice of colors! Very good for some extra color details in a build!

Holy mother of god, that red just kind of blew me away...awesome work there.
Don't suppose you are working on 3/8" ID 1/2" OD?

Yes, I LOVE LOVE the matte finish as well so I am doing all the colors as samples in that matte finish for the next run just to see how they look. If they do end up looking nice I may do a limited amount for sale.
Yes we are going to do the other two sizes for thin wall, and are working on 45's and 90's as well. Will be 4-6 weeks however.
Those look the dogs bollocks as we would say this side of the pond. Going to sell of my unused 7/16 compressions for my new build these will look better and hopefully DD will have the red led board for my monsoon back in by the time you have the 7/16 ready another nice product Gene what's next up your sleeve?
BTW folks have you tried Boxgods Zen mounts just boggles the mind why no one has come out with any simple solution for HD quietness before.

I won't lie, I like the look of the shiny green ones

Really liking the look of the gold ones but I've got nothing else gold in my loop/case.
How did you manage to fit cute Asian girls in the little fitting box? My wife will not be happy when I open mine. Maybe you can send the two actors from Supernatural instead . . .she would appreciate that
"Thing is, I no longer consider you a member but, rather a parasite...one that should be expunged."
We will send her that dude form White Collar...the little bald one with the heavy glasses...
