I think the T3 gets a bad rap more so because of a certain group rather than it's actual performance. There were issues, but most if not have been corrected. I was on of the first to get the T3 and I have been happy ever since. I did have issues, but Box Gods took those issues and fixed them, i.e. the top port for large cases. Does the T3 work for everyone? No, but does any water cooling part? Even what type of fittings are best are debated daily in various forums. I really wish folks would look at a product for what it is designed for and not what it wasn't designed for. I think that would be a better approach than what has been happening lately. But as it has been stated before, "You cannot please everyone."
