dang you pH and 'noodle. I had quite a response typed up and my pc restarted so you beat me to it. *threatens pc with rolled-up newspaper*

ok, silliness aside, I still have a few comments to make that weren't covered by the two of you. Liquid 3D, I have a lot of respect for the restraint you showed when responding to some of the comments here, as well as your obvious dedication to furthering your education. By way of an apology, in no way was my comment about "shoddily done reviews" directed at you or your review. That was more of a general bemoaning of the state of many reviews on the internet, as I'm sure you've noticed. As for your comments about your writing style, there is nothing I like more than reading an accurate review that has wit and humor in it. Without the character contributed by the individual writing style of the author, an article could easily become "sterile" as you mentioned. but I was also going to bring up pH's point about your target audience. Since your stated first intent in writing reviews is to educate your fellow watercooling enthusiasts, you should take a serious look at how the article is written. No, you are not writing a "review for eigth graders", but although we are certainly not your average person (hey, lets face it, we're all obsessed with computers here), we do come from all walks of life and many levels of education. As someone who is still learning the more basic aspects of this wonderful hobby/obsession, I find that if I have to work to understand not only the concepts, but the words used to convey them, then the learning curve becomes much steeper, which is unfortunate as many may be put off by this. Not that you should dumb down your writing, just (as was mentioned previously, work on making things clear) I hope that my comments have been viewed as more of a critical analysis than hostile attacks, and hope I was not who you had in mind regarding attacks toward JMKE and [M]. However I do stand by my comments regarding the responsibility of those who edit and publish material on the internet (or any medium for that matter).
And as for my comments regarding DD's engineers, I definately think DD is a great company, having done wonders for those of us who are into watercooling, but I was speaking as a fellow engineer when I was being critical of the actual work involved in "designing" the RBX. Yes, there is a lot of work involved in the manufactuaring, marketing, and distribution of any product, just in this particular case, i'm casting my doubts on the design section of that process. To the typical engineer, given an existing product its often easy to see what might be changed/improved upon, but it takes real imagination & work to come up with something that is really new and different. Hence my great respect for Cathar, and other that strive to design their own unique blocks.
I hope the past few posts have been helpful in explaining where some of us here are coming from, and in giving you some ideas to work with. good luck with your future reviews.
