LOL.. this dd sounds different from the ww. In fact the numbers make it so. You guys forgot that Cathar was selling these. Its not the watercooling community that is mass making blocks... so don't lump all these guys in a common thread. He has now moved on to a different product which people WILL COPY and improve on over time.
Cathar made his chunk, now other people are improving upon a design and marketing it. Every product has a life cycle before someone else modifies it or changes it for their needs. Behold Captiolism! I dare say this is NEW and different. Just like every heat sink you have on the market out there is NEW and DIFFERENT when they paint it a different color or exchange fans. Or simply adjust the fins one way or another.. same basic everything, no one is crucifiying them for doing what they have for YEARS. Im sure this same conversation went on 3-4 years ago in the heatsink forums.
If people think that watercooling is exempt from basic marketing and selling tactics then I suggest people study a wee bit harder.
The benifit: better performance, lower prices, more distribution. Companies are getting wealthier by meeting customers demands.
