    Any chance you can post a list of US distributors that will have your rad grills in stock and maybe an ETA as to when each will have them ?

    example

    Store XYZ - 07/20/2007
    Store ABC - 08/15/2007

    Nice grill and I'm glad TC people can now have their own grill to snazz up their cases! One thing that has become a truism of late is the Aqua Computer designs it and then everyone else copies it.

    More AC propaganda? How about we not insult the creator of the grill by implying that he copied AC. Wrong forum for this type of BS TN. [H] is that way ------->

    No propaganda at all. AC did make the first grills like this or maybe it was Watercool (the Watercool design was much more boxy looking in the grill area). Then they were copied by A.C. Ryan and now we have another manufacturer. Being a noob you probably didn't know this. For a long time everyone was trying to figure out how to adapt AC grills to HwL radiators, which was a PITA but doable.

    I would have probably used a TC radiator quite a few years ago, but the AC grill wasn't easily amenable to adapting to the TC rad. Never tried the Watercool grills because they were just to hard to come by here in the states. Now that they have grills that fit TC radiators I might be inclined to try one if they come in stainless.

    I have an Aqua Computer grill that I've had sitting around for a long time. I just bought a Swiftech radiator and I'll be damned, it fits. Now I just hope Petra or PPC can import some of these newer Thermochill grills. They look great.

    Nice touch with the unsubstantiated personal flames again!

    Grills are neither proprietary nor are they innovative in the sense of revolutionizing the WC'ing hobby. Grills have been around for a long time. Look at your ventilation shaft, chances are you'll find a grill on it. So how the hell does that make AC the innovator of a product?

    It's like saying the first person who moved an LED light from their Christmas tree to a computer case is the innovator of the product. How ridiculous is that.

    How is being a noob being flamed? We were all noobs at one time or another. Time to put you back on the ignore list before I get banned.

    Interesting post from someone who has Extreme PITA for a moniker. Wasn't that said by RK just before the "good guys" beat the crap out of him because the tasers didn't work? For some really good reading read => Presumed Guilty by Stacy Koon.

    Hi guys,

    Firstly apologies about the set backs, I didn't want to disclose the reason why they were first postponed but the reason was they came back from the powder coaters with bobbly bits all over them. Apparently the issue was with the type of cloth they used to wipe them down after prepping them for coating.

    Been sent back, and re-done and quality reached the high expectations of Tom so these have been delivered today.

    Problem is with screws now, the original supplier has discontinued some lines and the new one is faffing about which Tom is chasing up. Yet Tom has mentioned the deal with screws and customers in the product description. I'm sure there are users out there who know their screws well enough, but Tom has listed the sizes for you.



















    Product Page

    Discussion from start of idea to end, maybe answer some questions you may already have.

    If it ain't watercooled, I don't wanna know.

    Friend: Do you have a spare PSU lying around?
    Me: No why?
    Friend: My PSU just blew up, I think the second 8800GTX might have been too much for it to handle
    Me: what PSU was that again?
    Friend: Antec 480w
    Me:........

    looks nice.. why not just offer 1 version with screws (TBA?) and one version without the screws ?

    Although it would be a nice package deal to include the screws, like most people, I feel we need these ASAP with no more delay... but if you must get the screws to be included then I can wait..

    Mainly details on when they were going to avalable, what will be coming with them, price and availability in the US.

    I can say, I can sympothise with manufacturers more now with product released. Even though they are only sheets of laser cut metal which are powdercoated - the amount of hic ups with screws and clumpy powdercoating set them back.

    I don't know, maybe it's for the same reason people felt the need to create 1,000,000 to the power of 10 threads about radiators and vinegar?

    If it ain't watercooled, I don't wanna know.

    Which translates as 'buckly's hope of silver paint', I guess?

    I ain't sure, Tom is the best to ask.

    Not sure if there are RAL colours in powdercoating to get Silver but I do know watercutting Aluminium ones may be next which opens up to anodising.

    If it ain't watercooled, I don't wanna know.
