CritiCool It looks like CritiCool is closing their doors. The following message was posted on the web site; <QUOTE> Thank you for visiting our website. We would like to inform you that we are not accepting orders at this time and our company website is offline. We would like to thank you for visiting and wish you all the best. It has been a great ride!! </QUOTE> kinda of sucks because they did make very usefull kit, including a PCI card that would start your pump on power up, and allow you to operate it while the computer was off. I know that this dosent sound like much now but it was very helpful back when we all used aquarium pumps that ran off mains and didnt want to mod in a hardwired relay. Thanks for the good service guys sorry to see you go
The website even says less than that now. I only live an hours drive from FrozenCPU here in NY. They are located near Rochester, NY.
So i can no longer order two reservoirs from anywhere? If i'm wrong please tell me where can i get two reservoirs.
i still got one of those - gonna use it in my casemod - heres a pic of it sad to see these guys closing their doors (if they are)
Tell us what type of reservoirs you are looking for. And PCI pump relay cards can be bought anywhere.
Or made... The Criticool ones were known to be dangerous anyway, they had live solder points on the back
I thought that was only the first version. I thought the second (with the wire clampy thingies, the one in the pic above) didn't have that.
Yeah that's true - they did sort that problem with the revision 2. It's just slightly worrying that they marketed a product which had a major safety flaw
Well, ever heard of Microsoft? They released a product called Windows which had a major safety flaw: it turned ordinary people into idiots . Just kidding. But look around, you will find TONS of products released with flaws. *can't think of any off the top of his head*
There are flaws, and then there are flaws that can easily hurt/kill people and cause major damage to equipment. Exposed live contacts are not good.
*exasperated five-year-old tone* Fine... But seriously, you're right. On my first computer (when I was 3) something got stuck in the fan, so I opened up the side panel. I was grounded, and I got the thing out of the fan (stop the fan with the center, grab the thing, let go), but then I hit my CD drive, and I got a shock... It was a piece of crap, and when I took it apart later, the bottom of the PCB, including the Molex points, were all a mm away from the bottom of the drive. The Molex points were such that I could get a minor shock from them without grounding. Needless to say, I blew the drive.
