I've been looking into watercooling a dual Xeon, and it looks like Swiftech's the only manufacturer of Xeon waterblocks at the moment.

Not too big a problem considering the quality of their products but I'm puzzled by the difference between their two models, the MCW5000 with its push-fittings and the MCW5002 with hose barbs.

The MCW5000 with it's push-fit connecters seems a neat, clean and elegant design. So what is it that sets the
MCW5002's barbs apart and makes it worth buying over the MCW5000?
