for gods sake ben, i said that in my post earlier...

The only way to make these cheaper is to design them cheaper - which doesnt have to mean inferior. I cant imagine theres much margins at ALL in watercooling gear, hence swiftechs recent moves to injection moulding + slitsaw design. Take a niche market, then add high machining time to what is essientally a low cost item... injection moulding makes 100% absolute sense really, when you're talking a sustainable company.

If you dont have access to 'at cost' machining, things get expensive pretty quickly... the thing is, there doesnt need to be much machining at all in these if dual endcaps were used, which realistically doesnt increase risk much.
