Will it last a few months, years, forever? What's your opinion?
If you think it is worth it and give me enough reason to buy one... then go ahead and reserve one of those for me!!!  |
It's special. I wonder if it will be offered foor very long. I think it's awesome--looks fantastic. I was never that happy about the aluminum top despite tjhe coating. But according to Gabe at Swiftech the coating is MilSpec and should last indefinitely. I have not had any issues with mine. Buy it anyway. It's gorgeous.

Thanks--thaat is so true. I do not have a GT in house and The old Apogee I do have is plumbed into the loop of LanDream--so I will not be taking that apart just to see. But I believe you are correct as the screw locations are all the same. The original Apogee has thesame flat base as the others so I cannot see why it would not make a good upgrade.

At this time I am out of stock on the GTX. I am awaiting a large PO from Swiftech. I would likely just discount the GTX and let the buyer decide.

They should be interchangable but CD should be able to confirm.

I just measured the old Apogee and it is the same screw layout as far as I can tell.
