New Swiftech Stuff

[gabe]

Heh, just saw this topic as I was offline tweaking my WC a bit. I couldn't help but think of this when I saw the combo'd pump/block. That's been up for well over 1½ years IIRC.

Gabe, any chance that an old Apogee can be modded to fit the bottom of that?

Sure.. This concept has been around for a while. We are not claiming the invention of the water block (public domain) nor the invention of the DDC pump (covered by multiple patents already), but a means of converting the DDC into a water-block.

Let me give you a parallel: long time ago, in a far far away galaxy, someone had invented the pencil and got a patent for it. In another galaxy, someone had invented the eraser, and got a patent for it. Then came a third person who had the idea to put an eraser on a pencil, and file a patent for it, but the patent application was rejected by the US patent office.

Anyways, the revolution in our mind is the fact that we are combining two high-end technologies, the DDC and the Apogee, to provide high-end performance in an economical package.

As to conversion, sorry but it is not possible mechanically.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply anything of the sort. I just thought it was neat someone had finally followed through commercially on the concept. As much as I like my CSP's, I like my DDC's even better.

As to conversion, sorry but it is not possible mechanically.

...again I think there's a misunderstanding. I meant with your setup, not the CSP...or is there a difference between the Apogee bases for your setup and a regular block?
