    Nice review. Shame the product is a pile-o-pap.

    Pretty much every review I have seen on these things is the same.
    Maybe they were intending on taking down the noise a notch or 2 s opposed to O/C ability (in relation to the temps I mean)

    Oh yeah they definitely are, this unit is very quiet when running,... but no quieter than quiet HSF's and certainly no cooler :(

    Shame, its such an attractive prospect: a no fuss W/Cooling System that you can fit in a drive bay, maybe another company will have a crack and get it right, i for one wouldn't mind it taking up 2 drive bays if they could get it right.

    to get it to work properally i think some nice 40 mm fans at the front and back pushing througha different designed rad would work alot better then the top mounted 60s they used also i don't beleve that pump could cut it. as a novalty it works, the average joe can now say they have simple watercooling in there system its a novalty that will run out. Good idea but in practice might not work i think other companys have made simple water cooling easier like the Koolance pcs they are simple and affective. anyhoo thats my opinion.

    Interesting concept anyhow

    When I was reading that review I was just hoping it would be good. I got very disappointed at the ending. I think the idea of having two 40mm fans in the front and two in the back would probably work. I would even say make a two drive bay one with two 80mm fans in it.

    Yeah a duak bay version with an 80mm fan front and back maybe would be a lot better... 40mm fans are too annoying :)
