What makes them work is the same but the appearance is different. It seems these places have no real engineers. Just some CAD guy with creativity. If water cooling gets more and more popular and bigger companies get into it then it will get interesting. Same as it did for Air cooling. Once the hot AMD's started coming out all kinds of high performance coolers came out of the wood work with all kinds of different designs. it will happen with water cooling if the demand is there. Untill then it will continue to be as it is.

I disagree...
although i havn't been into watercooling myself for very long(still in the process of building my first) and i have only been readiing about watercooling for over a year now, if you first consider when watercooling first was started and then consider all the changes that has happened to it since. granted nothing happens overnight. If it took Cather 2 years to create the Whitewater, who knows what kind of inovation we will have in the next 2 years.
as for copy cats out there making knock off blocks...
someone had to make the fist water block for CPUs, after that everything is a copy, even that was stolen from water cooling in cars. it all depends on how grand of a scale we think.
I'll probly get flamed for this ...
