I don't understand why people would get worked up over a radiator this size. The average watercooler doesn't want to spend hours upon hours modding his case to fit a monstrosity like that. If it IS indeed three times the length of a regular Blackice Xtreme, this radiator would span the entire length of a standard ATX case. Meaning it can ONLY fit on the very bottom of the case, or the very top.
This automatically excludes ANY mid tower from use. The power supply would need to be moved, and you would most likely lose three of your four 5.25" bays due to shrouding, fans, and hoses.
Recently I helped a friend install a BlackIce Xtreme 2 into his Lian Li PC60, and that required us moving his power supply to the front of the case A-La-pH PC50 style. Had we not resorted to this, the lower bank of fins on the BIX2 would have been completely restricted by the cdrom's immidately below.
Here at ProCooling we often talk about bringing watercooling to the mainstream and to the average consumer - yet nobody seems to take into consideration what the average consumer really wants. I'm sorry but space is a premium in many people's lives. Cell Phones, TV's, radios, and just about every other electronic appliance commonly used, are all getting smaller. Surprise surprise... Enter Shuttle XPC.
I can't imagine walking into every house and seeing a watercooling tower A-La-Airspirit. Which is why his project is so cool and unique.

Am I the ONLY one who thinks that although this radiator has some nice features it's a HUGE step backwards in watercooling evolution? Quick! someone make me a single pass Blackice Xtreme rev2!
