Get ready for a new aquaero

[bianco]

I noticed two arrows on LCD on that pic. It is possible that new aquaero will feature a touch screen.

@Shoggy
can you reveal whether there will be an even cheaper version of a new device, i.e. without display? (like Aquaero LT version)

i'm guessing the 2 black rectangular 'buttons' at the bottom of the arrows would be used rather than touching the screen?

really intrigued on the use of the full keyboard remote though...
can't wait to see more info!

Shoggy: what do you think of these few quick, ugly & rough photochops?






They illustrate a bit my love of old, aquaero4 design.
Imho it won't hurt to make both sides simmetrical for better looks, be it rectangular or round. Or even old small buttons on side.

[Vetalar]

there is rain after snow outside my window, means that winter is over where is specs?

[Church]

Vetalar: Shoggy already answered. Specs only when release sometime in winter. If he could he probably had answered already. Keeping asking for them imho is similar as to ask when something will be released. "When it's done". I hope to not read similar questions in 50 different posts covering 3 or more pages if official answer from Shoggy is already given to first ones.

Nahhh, I think a computer case in lingerie looks strange

I've bought some sexy zebra-stripe stockings for my Lian Li as a Christmas present, nothing strange about that

I agree...

Man that underwear is really tasteless, I only put Versace on my laptop It looks like a granny bra?
And the laptop itself looks like an old Clevo... Gross

[dreamaxx]

I really do like the design of the old Aquaero but maybe that's just what I'm used to. Swear that looks like it has an integrated webcam lol. I am assuming it is the infrared receiver for the remote though

[millertime359]

We will not release any further details before the official release which will be this winter. For the price: I think it will be cheaper than most of you are thinking.

It's freezing outside and there is snow. I call that winter. Stop being a tease.

Yes, but he opened the door to it by posting a photo and not saying ANYTHING more about it. Should of waited till winter to post.

[Brodholm]

Omg, I have 2 aquaero 4.0 with power booster that i havent had time to install yet, and now this!

I "hope" that these sucks
So I don't feel the urge to get the new models

Shoggy: This winter? Is that before new year or this "whole" winter?

And will the old flow sensors work or will you be launching a new series of those also?

[Utnorris]

Anyone else notice the "TV" button and the "Mute" button? I wonder if the display will be video capable.

[prava]

WOW! Innovation at its best This is what I like business companies to do Keep it up!

[NaeKuh]

But.. It IS winter

LOLOL +1

winter started december 21st!!!

[SiGfever]

Looks very interesting, if it is half as good as my Aquaero it will be a winner. I have become so spoiled by my LCD Aquaero that I take it for granted.

[Pado]

Please tell me there will be a black faceplate option?

[Johnny87au]

Please tell me there will be a black faceplate option?

Surely he will suply 2-3 other black plates, the usuals usually consist of grey,white,black..

[Church]

Regarding faceplate color. I've already written it before, but can repeat. Shoggy: seeing that most top full towers cases these days are black (and those are ones that mostly get LC builds based on) imho it makes sense to make black face plate _default_. Of course, you can earn more by having majority to shell out for extra face plates, but that doesn't sound exactly right from consumer viewpoint. :/

[Shoggy]

I already knew that there will be many questions but as said I can not provide any further details. Official release will be this winter 2010/2011. The hardware development has finished some time ago so there will be no more changes. At the moment we are programming the first final firmware and software, writing documents and manuals etc.

If you already own an aquaero or had plans to buy one I think you will find the new one affordable. Of course the hardware and controlling possibilities are improved - no comparison to the old aquaero.

[Philwong]

WOW!!! Sweet....

May I suggest integration with third party monitoring software such as Everest to display full system stats from coolant to chips' built-in thermal diodes.

[guilleguillaume]

I was going to buy an Aquaero and then you show this so I MUST WAIT.

I think the design seems so cool and the black version will look beautiful. with all the black buttons. The controller will be a nice accesory for sure.

[Raiden]

I like it hope it hás more watts per channel and more good news

[Church]

..The hardware development has finished some time ago so there will be no more changes ..

Pitty. That probably means no more design changes, and my design suggestions/photochop mockups go down the drain . Of course, i most probably will get new aquaero because most probably it will have better specs, but nevertheless i'll miss a bit at looks section
Only hope that with black faceplate it hopefully will look better, with that asymmetrical shaped lcd+buttons part blending with it.

[buccaneer]

buccaneer: I for one would love seing one or two PWM channels added AND still some analogue ones. (To regulate two of new PWM MCP35X pumps from aquaero directly & analogue for analog 3pin fans that have extra noise if regulated via pwm)

Not so bothered with pumps but could be nice. it is kind of limited now I am more after the fans. much more controll.

As for the old Aquaero, the new version will also have some front panels of different colours that can be changed?

Thanks

[zalbard]

This looks amazing. Can't wait. Keep us posted!

[Martinm210]

Nice!

If you need any beta testers...I think I know someone with a few fans lying around...

Looks like a fun gadget..

[Alexandr0s]

I assume it'll be either the same price, or just below that of the old aquaero?

Can't wait to see it and its specifications, Shoggy .
