    Hi Well,

    After some consideration I am thinking of ditching my XSPC dual bay reservoir & pump combo. First, there is a bit of noise from it (see here and here). Second, the actual window to see the water is really small since it takes up just a fraction of the left hand side of the reservoir.

    Half the neat thing about water cooling is being able to see water swirling around in your PC. I have seen some mods where people have "water fall" sorts of reservoirs.

    So, can people list the off the shelf reservoirs which fit in a bay (or two) which have visual water effects. (From what everyone has said about EK's nickel plating fiasco, I am highly inclined to skip using any EK product whatsoever)

    I found out the aqua box professional 5 has a sort of visual water effect that looks neat in this video. Also it appears to stop any fogging up of the front plate.

    But I wonder how much restriction does this add? There is a review in german here but it is a bit hard to figure out just how much this will reduce flow rates...

    Does anyone have experience with this or other reservoirs that have neat water effects?

    Thanks,
    Jason
