Old thread but anyway... Every thread about the aquaduct always contains complaints about the high price. Sure, it is expensive compared to single components but if you a are someone who is already able to judge about this, than you are normally not the kind of customer who is looking for a device like that.
The aquaduct is designed as a user friendly entry into the world of liquid cooling and especially for people who do not want to spend hours or maybe even days to setup a system and do some modifications at their case etc. That device is also used quite often in industrial environments where companies just look for an all-in-one solution.
For the price most people do not keep in mind that this unit consists of more than 200 single parts which must be assembled by hand. Just to give you an idea, here is a photo of an older mark II variant:
Some parts in this photo are already assembled. Well, it is a nice puzzle and takes some time to finish
