"If (the american) people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money,
first by inflation and then by deflation,
the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks),
will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless.
...on the continent their fathers conquered." -Thomas Jefferson, 1802

Friend: Do you have a spare PSU lying around?
Me: No why?
Friend: My PSU just blew up, I think the second 8800GTX might have been too much for it to handle
Me: what PSU was that again?
Friend: Antec 480w
Me:........
But then again, I'm glad things that push the envelope like this are available. Rather have the option to be xtreme and choose not to then to never have had the option at all :P.
Does seem a bit excessive. The design looks inefficient, but I remember Skinnee testing the dual version which used the same design and scaled very well. Maybe running 3 undervolted MCP350's would be nice and quiet while still giving good head.
Why is it that the outlet sections of each pump in this setup have to go through two 90 degree turns? Couldn't they just shoot straight from the outlet area from one pump to the inlet of the next pump?
This picture should dictate what I'm talkin about...
It would be hard to manufacture like that, as well, XSPC have done tests and it performers great how it is. Bundy will have data soon, and i'm sure Skinnee will do some at a later date.
to be honest i cant think of many people who would use it.
70 each ddc x 3 = 210 dollars on the pumps alone.
Then the top is probably gonna cost somewhere near 60 dollars for that much acrylic + cutting.. so your looking at almost a 300 dollar package.
Theres only a hand few of people i can think of that even have more then 3 ddc's in there current systems.
Meh... time to go bug john and have him rsvp me this top, so i can go bug eric about it later on.

Cute, but once you've got 2 DDC 3.2's in series, the third one really doesn't do much for your performance. My own testing saw a degree improvement... maybe. And this one doesn't conveniently fit into a 5 1/4" bay like the dual-version does. If you were hard-core about silence, perhaps using 3.1's might be useful? In a very limited, expensive sort of way?
