I believe that was my point exactly. People buy kits because they either don;t want to build their own custom system be it DIY parts or commercial or they have no clue how to do it and would rather not bother. If the kit was filled and bleed for them the better for both sides.

you look at your perception of DIY watercooling and presume that to be the description of all WCing apps
your stance is anti-innovation, if everything is 'good enough' for jd - where is the incentive for improvement ?

Your wrong here. I personally do not even like the BI series. I want a radiator that can perform as well a heater core yet is made specifically for a computer. The BI series isn't it, the innovatek series isn't it and I doubt these rads are it being the guy won't post real numbers.
I am all for innovation. But performance must be first, then all the little details like barb placement to aid in bleeding. It just seems to me the industry is going BACKWARDS not forwards.
pH, I always put the barbs up in my systems. Air naturally bleeds out being the barbs are the highest point on the rad. And my T always rises above all parts in the system. Just seems like common sense to me.
The only place air can get trapped is in the tanks.Does the tanks really aid in performance? Worst case scenario you have your rad on it's side and one of the outer most channels is filled with air and not water. First how much water would actually flow through that channel being it is on the outer part of the rad and if it was filled how much air flow would that channel get being it is on the outer parts of the rad? I do not see a significant difference in temps even if air was trapped in the rad.
And furthermore if these rads this non respondent guy posted are aluminum then that certainly is not innovative (I believe innovative to be bettering something) and I don't see how it is any better than the BI. And has anyone suggested to the one making the BI's to change the placement of the barbs for easier bleeding? I assume so.....
