The copper design ensures excellent heat transfer and a think acrylic coating protects the metal. The use of the spiral water channel maximizes heat transfer by introducing the coolest liquid temperatures to the warmest water block temperatures thus increasing thermal efficiency. Furthermore, leaving the increased mass at the corners of the copper block tends to "collect" heat away from the CPU core. In addition to this, the clear cover showcases the good looks of the spiral water channel.

I don't think this comment is related to the acrylic top:-
"and a think acrylic coating protects the metal"
because he mentions the top at the end separately:-
"In addition to this, the clear cover showcases the good looks of the spiral water channel."
It sounds to me like the block has been coated with "something" to prevent it lossing it's shine, like I lacquer the outside of my blocks. I'd imagine this would include the spiral channel as it's on show, again less than Ideal for heat transfer.
Of course I could be completely off base and talking out my ass hole, it does happen often
It just seems from all the points we have picked up on here added together, it's another koolance type "also ran" all in one jack of all trades master on none
