This moral high ground is a tough issue. There are only so many ways to make a decent water block. Most have already been done so any new block that comes out is going to have traits of blocks already designed and it will be hard to tell if it is a blatent ripp off or their own design. The BeCooling slit edge looks similar to both the blocks shown above BTW. Every design I have on the drawing board looks similar to stuff already done. One looks very similar to the RBX. I am out of ideas on how to make them look original.... |

Have to agree with Jaydee's last post on new designs.
Last really new and highly original one I've seen was the Cascade. I don't recall seeing one anything like the Cascade prior to it's being introduced. |

It aint just the design rip-offs, its also the marketing/business ethics.
Go have a read here & here Its a long and old story anyhow as Cathar and most people over at OCAU know. Anyhow, getting back to the thread, its quite similar to the pelt chiller that I was intending to build as well. Gonna be holding either dual 226W (50x50) or triple 172W (40x40) pelts. But then I changed it to use pins instead of straight across fins. |
