Thats a mirror coating? huh looks machined just like every other base.

This could be cool if it could fit an ITX board though?

Sounds like a lot of Engrish. "Mirror coating" probably means mirror finish.

I'm confused as to why the English or quality of writing matters. Can somebody help me understand? Because I don't see a reason to nit-pick.

I was just clarifying that the cooler probably doesn't have a "mirror coating". The review could be very misleading.

It looks like a chrome-plating.

In this photo, it looks pretty reflective and chrome-like to me. It's very mirror-like. I'm looking at where the pipes go into the fins.
