so basically she gets a lateral trade instead of trading up

[BoxGods]

Well, he would be more of a shopping buddy for her...somebody to go to fashion shows with...to get mani-pedi's with etc lol.

Anyway, KOI Tech in Australia got a nice color shot with all 10 colors and finishes (including the orange). Top left is Black chrome....well they are pretty obvious actually =)

Shown are the 3/8" x 5/8" FYI



Killer picture Simon--nice job man!

[Mefist0]

Is the coating on the white the same as the matte black? Also, if we order white fittings, do they come with white O-rings? Also, if it's not too much of a pain, I'm trying to get a feel for what the colors look like on the bitspower matte black angled fittings, would you mind posting a picture of the white on the bitspower? Thanks so much for the help, the fittings look great!

Yes, it is the same finish as on the matte black, (but white of course). White fittings come with one UV black and one UV white O ring per fitting. They are 2.4mm thick and made from premium silicone. I don't have any of their fittings on hand, but Creekin has posted some pictures on the OCAU thread here. Not sure if he has posted pictures of the white yet but he has mentioned in a chat that the black/white look is pretty killer and his second favorite behind the black and gold look.

Hope that helps =)

[Creekin]

do they come with white O-rings?

yes

gah!

You, sir, just made me place my order for 8 white fittings
I was curious because I am doing a new build in may, and I have a white case, white tubing, and I am going to go all out and get these white fittings, with the matte black angled connectors. This will be EPIC

[Systemlord]

I really like the titanium color fitting, do the oval holes in the side have a function or is that just to cut down on costs? Don't me wrong cutting costs is a good thing and usually makes them more affordable for the consumer.

[Sparky]

I suspect it is more appearance than anything.

[Creekin]

the windows are mostly for looks yeah
they look great with a contrasting tube colour inside
but they also provide plenty of grip that doesn't shred your fingertips!

[BoxGods]

Actually they INCREASE costs as it requires more machine time (in a different machine) to remove that material. They also are lighter which DOES add up in larger rigs with a lot of fittings.

Awww come on! It wouldnt be water cooling if there wasnt blood and swearing involved!

As someone stated earlier in the thread, the "windows" also allow for visual confirmation that the tubing is fully seated on the barb.

[crazyg0od33]

Just placed my order for a 6 pack of the white ones, and 2 extras!! Can't wait. I would post pics of them, but I'm in college and I'm shipping everything to my house to keep until I do this build. Eagerly awaiting angled fittings, let me know if you need a tester for em when you start to make them (never hurts to ask haha)
Thanks for the great work!

That's what makes them a dress.

Not so sure about that whole "Black Swan" thing she has going on lol.

And they say NASA never invents anything normal people can use? Cause that is obviously some HARD WORKING space aged miracle fabric.

[Martinm210]

lol...that made my day...hehe

[voigts]

That fabric must have a 50 to 1 stretch ratio. Now if they could only make heatshrink like that.

These compression fittings look good enough to make me want to use them in the future, and I've always been a barb man .

+1

While there are a few others that have improved some of the areas such as wrenching the base on and actually including barbs that have some definition in holding the tubing on, few have stepped outside of the box on changing looks and no others have a tool for the outer ring that I've used. My biggest complaint about compressions has been despite the "Tool-less" concept, I've always found myself with a set of channel locks and a rag trying to get them apart without damaging essentially defeating the whole purpose of tool-less. Some are better than others, but most are still using that tool-less concept for the outer ring which only works marginally well.

Hopefully the rotary ones come out by the time LGA 2011 is out. Was going to get a 2700k soon but the price difference (read, no difference) between the new socket is minimal.

OCN finally managed to get those GT 2150's so I should have those soonish I hope.
