Check out the review here.

Top notch work there AntiM. How well do those quick connects work? Are they fussy?

I'm thinkin' I'm gonna have to stop visiting PR. I can take looking at new toys when I just learned I'm gonna have to sit in the rocking chair and suck down unemployment for a few months.

damn, sorry to hear about that lateronmly. I am definatley wishing I had a bit more of the cash-flow for something like that kit, that's the nicest one I've seen yet. (well my fave anyway)

Very nice...As always, good reading Bro...I like the part with the math done...
"Delta" values sure make it easier to compare...

I've yet to have a quick connect leak yet Feral. Although I'm always paranoid they will. They really aren't that hard to deal with.

They still make me nervous too! Nice review bro!

Looks like a nice kit, probably the top end of the pre-built sector hey?

ya might want to fix those "pagebreaks" that are in the middle of the text.

I was wondering how those quick connects are workin too

I just write it. GlitterKill fixes it.

Edit: fix0red. He's good. Thanks for the heads up.

AntiM · 14-November-03, 11:25 AM

I'd have to concur with putwig, this is definitely one of the better prebuilt systems available. And the quick connects seem to work just fine, and they look nice. Restriction issues aside with these particular ones.

But you definitely wouldn't want to use them with silicon or tygon. Thin wall tygon is too soft. And silicon just fell back out when I tried it.

Very Cooooooooolll!!!!!!!! Nice kit and very nice work done man! A+ in my books. Can i get a estimate price on this kit?

AntiM · 27-January-04, 10:03 AM

As shown the kit runs $289 at Frozencpu.com. $219 minus the pump upgrade and vga and chipset blocks. I've seen it cheaper but don't remember where.

At least wait until you can buy the kit with this water block. Between that and the addition of a wider choice of BlackIce radiators, asetek will be turning many heads.
