You did notice the 1/4" preangled outlets right?

Cuz two 1/4" barbs does not equal one 1/2" barb (if you ran two 80mms in parallel).

yeah the 1/4" is slightly annoying, but at the same time, I think they'd be very handy for mounting in a normal case, think of two at the front of a Lian Li

My thought would be to mod that thing right out of the box and go to at least 3/8.

Yea I noticed the 1/4" barbs, which could be a good thing depending on what your gonna do with it.
I was thinking of making a Desktop based watercooling rig rather than a tower based with one of these babies, and i could always get hold of some 1/4" tygon for the job and use them on 3/8" waterblocks as they tend to be smaller.
Note with such a small radiator overclocking is not an option, but slap a 80mm Papst 12db fan and just think how quiet it's gonna be, perfect for my new music studio rig

i like it (not the 1/4 barbs)because i was thinking about a sperate setup to cool my gpu and nb...small pump and rad just for gpu and nb...i bet this would work pretty good for that...i though there was no way to get anything else in my 1030b case but this looks like a can do thing

right off the bat i was thinking that it would suck

but as Brad said, that would be soo soo nice to have two of those in the front of my Lian-Li

ah.. and i forgot -- i bet you could get good results if u put a monster Delta 80mm fan on each of them.. you'd lose all your hearing but damn the temps would be nice
