Just a suggestion....
I purchased the premium (vga/cpu) for my system...
However...for me to upgrade to the Antartic D actually means i have to spend quite a bit more money than if i purchased that level in the first place! (I have received a quote)
My suggestion is therefore to perhaps drop the premium/premium d option and just have an antartic option in their place (vga/cpu). This would use the same tubing as the other levels but would mean that there is a logical upgrade path to follow for those that started off at the bottom rung of experimenting with watercooling....but eventually want to move up into the more major levels!
Hope this makes sense Vincent....
what do you mean dangerdaz? for us to drop completely the premium (thin tubes) liquid cooling?
Yup and just replace with Antartic (vga/cpu). That way when peeps want to go to Antarctic D and beyond it will follow a logical and more cost effective way of expansion!
Because to expand from premium to Antarctic is not cost effective at the mo....Here is why....

The reason it works out more expensive is becuase we won\'t be able to reuse the pump, reservoir, tubing and fittings and won\'t be able to resell them to anopther customer as they are used products. The only thing we\'ll be able to keep from your current package is the CPU and VGA blocks and fittings. Upgrading to the premium D will just involve adding a chipset block and a bit more tubing and cooling. With even the premium package, we use the best pump and reservoir available for that size tubing so there are no possible upgrades as far as they go.
oh, i see. but what about those who dont have the money to buy the Antarctic liquid cooling? We like to be flexible in every respect and be as open as possible about everything we do. The wise option is of course to go for the best if you can afford it, so you dont regret it later.
Personally, i share your views and i would remove that option too, as i am following what one of my old friends used to say - 'I am not that rich to buy cheap stuff' but is this really what everyone wants? certianly not everyone can afford the best and at the end of the day, the premium cooling does a good job - admit it - what are your CPU/VGA temps?
Oh...dont get me wrong Vincent im not moaning about the premium performance...its just a pain if you wanna upgrade...Perhaps just add an antartic option as well??
My core temps whilst playing eve are 42-44 degrees.....
I spose its the small reservoir that worries me a bit.....
Perhaps il just stick the premium d upgrade in when i upgrade laters.....
