For those that are interested in this unit, do looks play an important role, or is the performance of the unit going to overcome the fact that it looks like a compnay phone?

I personally don't care too much about the looks...it'll be on the other side of the desk anyway.

Ha-ha, my lips are sealed.

All that I'll say can be found in the SystemCooling forums. I can't say much more, else the product roll out will not be a surprise. $\:D/$

Hi eva2000 !

OK, just a hint. There's a reservoir, pump, HX, a fan, and some internal tubing. Air is drawn in from the bottom and out the top. The fan has two speeds like the HydroCool has; slow and fast.

The four wire power connector will be a plus to those who would like ... (zip my lips.)

The kit is offical as of today...................

http://www.corsair.com/corsair/news.html

The link for the complete release isn't working for me, so you'll have to go there yourself.

So we should be seeing reviews anyday now. .............

I'm hoping for one of my own shortly...............

It's so freshly official that the link to download the PDF file is out-of-order.

Nah, there is a type-o in the link name. Here's the correction and location on their site:

PC Perspective has a review up on the unit right now.

Review done by Lee (RoboTech) Garbutt, one of the best, if not the best water cooling testers online.

Only thing I really don't care for is the aluminum radiator, I'm sure it will perform just fine like the Corsair HydroCool 200 did, you just have to run a high percentage of anti-freeze (Propylene Glycol) like the original Corsair used., which will affect temps a little, but not enough to really worry about.

It seems to be a little noisey too, even with the fan on low speed...

Fan noise is easy enough to cut down or get rid of, the first thing to get rid of would be the mesh exhaust screen, it's a big noise maker.

That's not good...can't wait to hear the review!

GREAT!

Also, some more P-I-C-T-U-R-E-S please of the GUTS inside. Close up shots of the parts are a BIG P-L-U-S. We all like pictures. That's always a winner in my book that goes with the benchmarks and test results.

I've got lots of mesh with larger holes if you need it, the same stuff that's on my case..............

I might even mod it for you Nate...........

It will allow for modding though. Swapping out the radiator or fan should not be a problem. I am waiting to see the review on here.

EDIT: Review is up. I guess swapping out the radiator would take a little more work than I heard.
