Gabriel,
I think Swiftech is heading in the right direction to help bring watercooling to the main stream. As someone who started manufacturing and selling waterblocks in 1998 (coolchip.com) I can say its a tough market to keep on top of. Unfortunaltly I did not have the financial resources to keep up with the R&D needed to stay competitive in the market.
As the speed of CPU's increase and the price drops, I don't think overclocking is as big as it once was. But with the amount of heat generated by the newer faster CPU's, heat is as big a concern as ever. I am more interested these days in reliable QUIET performance of my systems. This is why I water cool, for the silence....
These days as I convert all my systems to watercooling, I want it to be a clean and simple install. I want the components to fit right the first time. I also like a setup that requires minimal if no case modification.
Just my 2 cents.
Scott
