    I was wondering if anyone else was planning on it, would be interesting to see the results.
    Keeping in mind I designed the T3 (in the interests of full disclosure) I can give a pretty good idea of the results of a head to head.

    PQ curves will look great for the DDC dualie. In real world usage, the much more restrictive CPU blocks will like the higher pressure the DDC's bring to the table. GPU's, rads, and lower restriction cpu blocks will like the better flow rates of the T3. To my mind, even if you have a restrictive CPU, your GPU's and rad/s are going to want the better flow...How do you loop two DDC's so that they can leverage their pressure edge? It will depend on your loops, the T3 will win some (more in my mind =) and the Dual DDC will win others. I think the fact that T3 does it with one LESS pump, and the fact that it is the quieter and the one generally considered more reliable makes it the much more elegant solution.

    Again, just my biased opinion

    Yeah, I have watched DB shaving off the weight with such dedication that I ALMOST feel like loosing some weight myself. I am not ashamed to say DB, VERY proud of you for sticking with it man.

    Ah well, looks like Skinnee didn't make it tonight for the review

    To make up for it, here is a little video of the results of glue trial 4.

    And yes, I added a top AND bottom port for grins. I would move them over closer to the sides on the next one. Since Bei Fei was obviously WAY unhappy and has NO problem expressing himself about things that piss him off, this particular unit is on its way to him.

    I spoke with Brian about making a version with the top port available on ModdersMart and/or the PrimoChill store available for a slight premium for those users with very large or heavy cases. He said he wouuld consider it.

    Those are thoughts exaclty. Even if it is slightly better than the T3, it will cost you more than the T3 because of buying a second pump. So taking in account the whole thing. T3 seems to be the better value.

    Thanks,
    Or a laser and a tapping arm.

    First cut a hole through the top of the T3 large enough to recess the top of the plug.

    I then added a 1/4" thick acrylic circle inside with a 29/64" hole, bonded to the inside of the reservoir (obviously the 2 holes need to be aligned concentrically) then tapped.
