The one I got was actually probably newer than yours. It was only less than 2 months old. Schoolie sent it right ot me right after he got it from CPUFX which wasn't that long ago.
And yes this one has the 1/2" fittings which are way to big for 1/4" channels with 1/16" channels walls. The channels where 1/4" deep bt 1/4" wide. Rather tiny. Way to small for 1/2" barbs or even 3/8". 1/4" ID barbs should be just right for it being that will match the channel size. Another thing is the 1/16-1/8" gap between the top plate and the top of the channel walls. The water will just bypass the channels and go right to the outlet. My theory is they did it with the 1/2" barb version to increase flow rate so it looks like it is doing good, but it is actually deciving because the extra flow is just bypassing the channles and going right acroos the top of them to the outlet.
There is no way anyone can argue that this block is not over priced for what you get. A Maze 2 is cheaper and far better in all respects exept looks.
