As long as most of them get finished eventually, it's all cool with me Skinnee ^^.

Watching this.
After the problems with the T3, I hope this fits the bill

In stock here in australia. Anyone else got their hands on it yet? would love to see some user pics or reviews

[F3L1X]

anyone used one?, or any threads where someone has one?

[Captain_Harlock]

I'd like to see some pics of the back of the unit so I can imagine tube routing. Cant seem to find any images at all. Anybody?

XSPC posted in a WCUK thread with pics of the back

EDIT: Here you go
XSPC: "Sorry about the photo quality. Keep in mind that this is a prototype so the finish isn't very good."

[Captain_Harlock]

Cool, thanks for the pic. Now to consider an import or wait for the official U.S. shipment.

XSPC Tank Reservoir

XSPC Dual 5.25" Bay Reservoir

Actually, Alexandr0s is right. I have DDC single and dual tops with dual D5's sprinkled in, radiator sandwich testing half complete, a new radiator test procedure in the works and GXT480 blocks all going on... and I have review writing for a couple more air coolers and 2 water kits going every night. And there is more, but it stays behind closed doors for a while. If it weren't for having this day job to keep the lights on I could get things done much faster, but the day job always takes priority.

I'm patient skinnee, I'll wait, As I have lots of time.

[kill_a_wat]

i love that 2 bay combo, it would look sweet in my lain lee brushed alu rebuild....

sweet, thanks for the post!

Nice. What I was looking for. Sadly no stock that I know of atm in AUS

[Captain_Harlock]

Just thinking about this for the past couple of weeks. Going back and forth, back and forth. Just when I thought I'd finaly stick my rev A T3 in the case, Waterlogged had to go and post those links. I know that XSPC has had its issues with its older line of res's, but they did manage to fix/replace those and I've enjoyed a number of their other products over the past couple of years enough so as to trust it over the problems of the T3. So who else got this thing? Or was it just me?

After recent success using an XSPC Laing DDC Dual Bay Reservoir in an 800D mod, i think i'll replace the two T3's which literally disintegrated within weeks in the Zotac Mod Box with a couple of these

[menace2society]

/\/\No work log for that 800d project?

[bomberboysk]

Bit pricey imo....would like to see how they perform though.

[Captain_Harlock]

My Droid shipping software says my new XSPC dual bay is on the truck, winding its way to my home as I write this. I'll snap a pic or two when I unbox it. Not planning on a worklog as I'm not 100% on the exact look I want and I may scrap and redo again and again.

[luf1c3r]

I do not like the first, this may be detrimental to the pump. Very nice but ...

The truth is that it is beautiful.

[Captain_Harlock]

No, the T3 with front metal hex bolts and alumium face plate was beautiful. This is acceptable, as it carries hope over beauty. Something I havent seen in the water cooling community for a couple of years as most modern LC parts makers learned from the many mistakes made over the past 10+ years. But every now and then something has to come along and remind us not to get to comfortable with whats there. Lest we endup with a dead rig from a real tyhpoon inside of it.

Maybe it should have been named Tsunami instead?

This dual bay res looks similar in build to their Dual Bay res for the DDC and I just binned one of these as being a POS.... It does not fit well in the drive cage, it is a pig to get in and a pig to get out, and the resonance of the pump from this through the drive bay drove me nuts it was so loud. I replaced it with res top for DDC, much better, dead silent no resonance issues....

Nice idea, poorly executed.... IMO of course, perhaps some cases are better suited for the dual bay res than my Raven 2.....

@ Waterlogged, not sure I'd want any product that was welded by your butt

I found that the brushed alu bezel matched the ATCs 840 perfect back last year but noticed it was a real tight fit which i pointed out to XSPC and they apparently knocked 1mm off the width since then so maybe you were using old stock as they are meant to fit well now with rubber vibration mount things so are silent as well
