I ride Kawasaki dirt bikes so I'm very partial to green. I'm just so used to most watercooling parts being a neutral black/grey it's really refreshing to have something in COLOR!

This is SUCH a nice piece...I like it A LOT! and I haven't even hooked it up yet..

And my green inspiration...the KX500....

For some reason it looks a bit toyish to me, gives me the feeling that if you piss him off it will turn into Optimus Prime.

What I'm seeing from the various manufacturers is they've all scaled up in terms of industrial design (and cost of course). Over the last few years the water cooling industry has gone from mom-n-pop to extremely hi-end. It's certainly not a hobby for the feint of heart/checkbook. That said...is there any true difference in what you could get to work five years ago (5C over ambient) that looked like it came out of a garage or what you get today (5C over ambient) that looks like it came out of Lockheed Martin? Maybe incremental increases in performance...but is it mostly cosmetic?

Yuck! Ugly as sin!

But that's just my opinion, I hate green colors on anything other than grass and trees.

Some of it is performance. Take for example the Apogee XT. It's product page says performs better than the GTZ. If you look at the GTZ product page, it says it performs better than a GTX, etc. There are real world tests that prove that every generation performs better than the last, I'm just to lazy to look for them right now. While not major improvements in some cases, they are improvements.

They need to sell these somewhere in Europe.

I like all the port holes on that reservoir. It would have a ton of flexibility.

Is the big round section on the back, the pump?
