With respect to the pump top/res combo above, couldn't I accomplish the same thing with one of these?
G 1/4 male-to-male.

You can get them even cheaper from Mcmaster.com for your typical G1/4 male to male

Yeah but guys, i suppose it would be a Top\Res combo. And not only the Res. All thought, im sure that the Res would be sold separately as well.

I've got a res sitting above my pump via the 1/4 male-male. It works great.
The only problem I see is that you'd need to move the inlet up a bit, so that during the initial bleeding the pump doesn't suck air back in via bubbles. My res is 8" tall, 2" dia, with inlet at 4" into the side. Fillport on top, and g 1/4 m-m fitting on bottom feeding the DDC.

Very true
EKs are like waterblock pr0n
The res expansion looks like a good idea, but I don't think it will sell much.
I mean, what case could fit multiples of those res's ?

The ddc pump idea is a really cool idea
Another vote for the DDC w/res idea.

It looks cool. However, until Petra (or Cathar, or Marci) comment on the subject of how it would affect the pump's performance, I'm not going to start the fireworks ^^Another vote for the DDC w/res idea.
DDC top and res is a cool idea Eddy. Just will need inlet higher up or some way of stopping it going anywhere near the pumps inelt!
Defo need to stop the vortexing on it as it will suck loads in!
Res would't need to be all that tall as well!
Here is what I was thinking, very simple idea so not worth making a detailed illustration :P
"Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear."
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
I'd buy one. It'd make life easier for those of us looking to create 2 or 3 loop machines. Mounting on reservoir is a lot easier than finding 3 different places to bolt on.

If you are still open to suggestions Eddy what about a top
for a Laing D5. Somethhing you can screw your own barbs in
and a top thats looks good.
A top that would allow 2 res to screw into it, but side by side would be nice.
Id imagine that it would be shaped like an "8" maybe have an option with a channel between them, as well as one without a channel between them (1 sharing liquid, another not sharing)

As in you would use the same res for all the loops? Wouldn't that negate the performance gain as the water would be the same temp?
Or is each res separate from eachother, they just all hook together?

OK, stupid question time. Wouldn't this setup basically be the same as the Alphacool plexi top with res, which has been shown to hurt flow? I do really like the integrated look though and would likely buy one (depending on performance hit though).Like that:
If the thread is the same size as alphacool's agb's I'll get to of those midle things
Yeah that's what I was thinking too...didn't work for alphacool on performance. I was just looking over that thread ..it's quite a bit lower performing than a regular top
Maybe this could be improved upon with a different more extended and well radiused inlet?
Glad to know I'm not the only one to not just go "Yeah that's what I was thinking too...didn't work for alphacool on performance. I was just looking over that thread ..it's quite a bit lower performing than a regular top

, me want one". I would love it if there is a way to cure the performance hit, just not sure how though. The only thing I can think of ATM is to go with a smaller hole that would act like a fitting was in place. That might have been the problem with the Alphacool, the pump was being flooded without a fitting.
Just another, Ive noticed that anytime a cylinder res is upright, there is going to be some kind of vortex. I had one in my Asetek res (with a Hydor L30), in a custom res that I never got to work right and apparently both versions of EK's , it's the nature of the beast. Unless some sort of divider is glued to the acrylic itself about 1/4 to 1/2 (heck, maybe even 3/4) way up the res, this is somewhat unlikely to change.
I was under the assumption that each res was separate but they all connect together like lego blocks. That's what I would want.

It's very blocky visually, too.Glad to know I'm not the only one to not just go "
The vertex creating cylinder has a thin lightness visually that's lost here. Maybe a square tower would work both ways?
Oh crap I just noticed you can stack them... very niceHe he
You can add as much as you want...
Im also for the improved bleeding idea...
Yep and now that we can stack on more, its good for 5 loops
Whoopee! five vortex. Is that a perfect storm?
