Nylon screws...first thing's first.

The rad has about a 250ml capacity for water. It is about 480 grams (500g shipping), so all in all it is about 730g during operation. The nylon bolts would have no problem. Even more so zinc taptight screws.

HVPC, I'm not too sure about 1/2 fittings making it on those tanks. The 3/8" fittings were already a deviation from an earlier design. Enlarging the fittings would give the BI a higher profile which may adversely limit its mounting options.

Though you guys I'm sure are free to mod it given that you know what you're doing. I think to make it feasible you can possibly mount elbow barbs on top of the inlet/outlet tanks and seal the current 3/8". Do tell on how it performs afterwards. But make sure you check it for leaks afterwards.

Oh yeah Dave, will you be posting pics with it mounted snugly inside your PC case?

Thanks for the positive feedback. We've tried to think of everything possible in making the Black Ice.
