ooooooo shiny
Tarnish in 3..2..1...! :P
Very purdy though.

That's definitle unique, but yeah, I'd worry about it getting grungy
Are they bare or is there a clear coat over the copper?
We need to see how this rads performs!Very good looking rads...thanks Martin

There is some sort of clearcoat or other finish protecting the copper from tarnish..it should stay shiny..
How about the fins?

The two Coolgate radiators look awesome. But I wish the casing was left black and just the fins bare personally.
the standard Coolgate rads are expensive, those are ...?
Not sure what retail will be on the copper plated variety. Seems like price varies quiet a bit depending on retailers and location.
FYI, Got the acrylic testing and review done:

The HD is done now too.

Not sure I'd ever use either just from an aesthetics standpoint, but the HD would definitely be preferable to the acrylic.
With full copper cpu and gpu waterblocks, those could make a cool looking build.

Should we ask for full nickel next?
These look pretty cool.

Matte black is what fits me aesthetically, not blingy metal shine, so big no-no for shiny metal lump, be it copper or nickel/chrome. I'm rather more interested in their performance vs normal painted rads, and these show rather good results despite relatively high FPI, so there might be something in it. Let's wait for some vendor to release very same rad model but in both with or without paint variations, so that those can be compared in apples to apples way.
Copper plated? ANY copper radiator will look like that if you remote the paint the buff the hell out of it.

But most are brass...

Bucket + copper sulfate + vinegar + copper electrode (copper water pipe works) + good variable DC PSU = problem solved

It shouldn't have any effect on performance. Tubes and fins are often copper so, no diference there. Aren't these just plated "chassis", a part that's not involved in heat transfer at all? Besides, they're only plated so it's essentially no different than other rads. Performance will be determined by the usual design aspects. Pure asthetics.
