I just saw that thread here, were WaterPimp sais its a WhiteWater clone. If he was involved in the blocks design, and he makes that comment, well then I can see the point you guys have about comparing it to the WhiteWater. I mean, the guy sais he took the idea.
So, i dont know. Im not sure what I could say about this issue and be fair. But these kinds of things are what international patents are for. Let the legal system decide who has claim to the design.
All I can say is that on my little water system, the RBX is a very competitive block. And I only wish I had a stake in DangerDen right now. Or SwiftTech, or Dtek, or any other manufacturer involved in this hobby.

First of all I will apologize for jumping your case. I hope you continue to take part in this forum. I have an issue with tact and i am working on it.
Patents are near usless for water blocks. They would only be usefull if CPU's stayed the same over time or the block is designed in a fashion that takes account for future CPU's. The Swiftech block comes to mind as it should work great and maybe excell with IHS topped CPU's. Where the White Water and knockoff's will not perform as well due to lack of surface area. Cathar would have lost more money than he made trying to get a patent let alone enforcing it.
Swiftech on the other hand is working on a patent for that pin design and it might actually pay off being that block should be good to use for 5 more years if the current CPU roadmaps stay the same. I think they need to redesign it a little though, but I will keep those changes to myself!
