Thinking about ordering one since my room with my computer is always at 68 to 70 degrees. Anyone worked with one yet or no. Here is the link

I've read a few reviews and one testimonial. They look kickass but a few issues:

1. Low flow rate. As long as you don't plan on OCing to any great degree this isn't a problem. Also, Zalman includes instructions for replacing the tiny internal pump with a more poweful inline unit. But if it isn't the same shade of blue then what's the point?

2. Very fragile flow meter. This isn't an issue if you don't use it, treat the unit very carefully or buy a third party unit to replace it.

3. The hose coupling requires you to leave a slot cover open. Which means another source of dust accumulation for most of us. You can cover it with tape, but that's too cheesy for me.

Personally, I'm going to wait and see what the Reserator 2 looks like.

Planing on upgrading the pump, and yes I can paint it blue . But all and all good or bad.

I'd say good.
