body
is much easier to insulate than the swiftech. plus I don't like mixing ALU & Cu.
PS, I heard Swiftech were planning on addressing this problem by using a non~different metal mix for fittings, ie, all steel or all ALu. I don't know when(or if really) they plan to do this though.
This is just my little or no experienced opinion though
, peeple have problems with maze 3 mountings. these can usualy be cured with stronger springs. go for a Cu top if you're not sure about how to care for Lexan
...
There will be no peliters in this rig. This rig has no real future for peliters. A larger computer may have peliters as the peliter PSU will be able to fit, along with a larger radiator.
So freezing bolts won't be a worry either.
