Well got them today .. here's the good and the bad and the pics
The good.
Build quality - The pump's Top Notch solid the top smooth and Finished. The pumps a red impeller IF that means anything ;-)
The res is solid I though it was glass when I first unwrapped not Plexiglas or acrylic. The top is a Solid plug of metal Felt and looks like a Spare CPU block .. actually heavier.
The bad.
Res is innovative but Just a little off .
The top is as heavier then pump/res combined I'm afraid to mount the thing. Scared the mount will snap. I can see if it was floor mount it would act as a weight dampener and help prevent vibrations but lets say pump slightly loose at some point this thing will haul it right over if its off balance.
I thought about drilling a fill port in top not going to happen as I would probably need 1000w Drill press.
The Cutaway area for the ports not large enough to use compression fitting ( 3/8-5/8 BP and koolance) or any fitting with a larger lip.
The res mounting mechanism requires you to use a LONG flat screwdriver to reach it and turn but due to the width of the mount port a normal screwdriver can only be on one side I foresee problems there.
The pin for positioning the res in the right spot is nice though.
Here's some pics don't mind the semi bad camera phone and bad lighting.
Let me know if you want pics of anything in particular also have digital calipers on hand is need a measurement although spec are up on swiftech site..
