that doesn't make EK any better when they treat their customers like crap rolleyes.gif
remember "nickel-gate", "silvercoil-PTNuke-gate", "EK-water-gate" and all that pack of lies and coverups not to mention shockingly bad customer service tongue.gif

that being said as I've said before; I won't mind buying 2nd hand EK members from OCN members to support them but I will never buy a new product from EK again till they improve and apologise for their previous pack of lies and cover ups that they started

I have and still use quite a bit of EK gear. With most water blocks performing in the same ballpark as their competitors, for me it came down to aesthetics. Their last gen stuff has a very simple and masculine style. This new line does not seem to be designed with the US consumer in mind. Its already been pointed out that this style looks more like a European handbag. I think colored dye would make it look like Legos. Either way, not my style.

Shifting their focus to the European markets? They got a lot of bad press with nickle plating, maybe they are pulling up stakes and looking east.....

EK has always been "East" as it were. They're based out of Germany I think. But then so are most of their competitors. It's stupid to neglect any market in this business. wink.gif
