As a result of succesful negotiations with our supliers and setting up of the new manufacturing facilities, I am pleased to announce the price cuts for the cooling plates and the Siberian Rev2 VGA block .
Additionally, the new plate releases (including the 9800GTX) will be 8mm thick, which generally keeps the VRM/Memory temperatures very close or even better to what a normal conventional full cover block does.
Bearing the above in mind, now the block should be showing return on investments as soon as it is being used in a setup for the second time.

Plain English example:
Blastflow modular approach:
If a user has a 9800GTX card to watercool, the costs are:
1 x cooling plates = £17.99
1 x Blastflow rev2 block - £54.99
Total = £72.98 ex VAT
When it comes the time to upgrade, the additional costs are:
1 x coling plate = £17.99
New total = £90.97
Full cover conventional waterblock approach
If a user has a 9800GTX card to watercool, the costs are:
1 x Average price of a non-modular full cover waterblock = £50
When it comes the time to upgrade, the additional costs are:
1 x Average price of a non-modular full cover waterblock = £50
New total = £100
The maths:
Overal savings from a single upgrade = £10
All becomes even more attractive when you upgrade 4 times:
Overal price difference from 5 upgrades:
Blastflow: 5*17.99+54.99 = £144.94
Conventional full cover block: 5*50 = £250
Savings: £105.06
Good stuff. Good luck!
