Sure it's expensive, sure there are much cheaper solutions that will work equally well, or better, but there's that one aspect, which I've tried to bring up numerous times now, which has been completely ignored, by everyone.

ok, so its "maintenence free" (which isnt true, remember it needs to be changed every 2 years or so). first off, how often is a user going to have the exact same setup and fluid, in the exact same setup, without ever having to drain the system, for 2 years? what do you think is the max for that? because as I see it, if youre going watercooling, youre already the kind of person who would upgrade SOMETHING either in the cooling loop, or the processor, or the video card if its blocked. hell even if you change motherboards youd be playing dangerously to not drain the system first.
also, how often do you need to change distilled/de-I and water wetter? i honestly cant say because i havent had my system long enough to know, but I dont see any reason itd become bad enough that you would have to change the coolant. and even then its not hard enough that i wouldnt want to do it if it would give me any benefit.
They dont only push the "maintence free" aspect because I believe that even they know its not enough to justify the cost. they also love how its less conductive than distilled + water wetter. and to me, and i know a lot of other people here, neither of those justifies the cost, and i cant possibly conceive how it would to anyone else.
