hmm what do you guys this would be better to mount my radiator. It on top with two 120 mm fans under it pushing air up? (those fanst would just sit on top of my case so they might not push much air at all) or the radiator on top with fans on top pushing air down or up?
or
Mount radiator on back where 2 exhaust are and put in 2 120 mm fans and have them push air out of the case across the radiator mounted outside.

by the way I have an antec 1040b case similar to Dino's but smaller, but virus has the same case as me.

Well... the best way so far is to let the fans suck air through the radiator (i.e. blow warm air away from the radiator) because you get fewer turbulences than you will get when you blow air into it, which results in less noise and better cooling.

btw: I also have such a case; I think the name of it differs from country to country... here in germany they are usually called CS-601. The original manufacturer is Chieftec.

Ok more questions. I want to use that cool plug and cool system but how big are the thread on then when you screw them into a pump or radiator? the radiators here are too big for my case and I would have to buy a pump here cause we use a different voltage. Also do those small lines restrict flow much?

Eheim pumps are available in the USA, too.

just order the eheim plug&cool set and buy a 110V model of the pump at your local aquarium shop ( they should have them, and also spare parts )...

hallo !

I am from America as well (Las Vegas, Nevada) and I think the aqua-tube and cuplex/twinplex are beautiful pieces of Germen engineering.

There's a big thread on the [H]ardForums where everyone posts regarding your products. There's a lot of us in the States very interested in purchasing them and we've gotten together with JodynicH to buy in bulk from you guys.

Hopefully we can work something out.

Anyone know if we're getting any closer to seeing a distributor here? I put Dino in touch with Tony from Plycon, but Tony said he didn't hear anything more. Sorry. . .just a little anxious here! =)

Yeah! Aqua-Computer spreads the world! Hehe!

First of all I'm quite happy to see AC being of interest in the USA - but what I'm definitely NOT looking forward to, ist increasing shipment delay :

The guys over here in "good old" Germay are already whining due to a delay of 3 to 4 weeks. So if now American cusomers start to lick their fingers for German engineering (yuuup, this one sound nice, come on, say it again, go!, say it again, "german engineering" yeeeah! strike! *proud* ;D), we'll soon have to wait 7 weeks - actually the American market is a rather big one, compared to Germany, duh!

Nevertheless, this time we're at the source - so if I am not holding my watercooling equipment in my hands in time, be prepared for watching me heading over to Göttingen, SWATing into the AC headquater and assemble my beloved package by myself. Harhar! Nothing to lose! ;D

geetz.

Well, here's my first question. Do you think it's kind of dangerous handing out guns at a bank? (Michael Moore, Bowling for Columbine)

Hello again everyone. I've been talking to Tony at Plycon Computers here in the States and he's been trying to get in touch with you folks regarding becoming a US distributor and he hasn't heard anything from you guys. He gave me the impression that he's quite interested in bringing Aqua-Computer to the States. And quite frankly, I need to buy a watercooler and I'm trying to hold off until we can get these badboys here. I don't want to spend my money elsewhere.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Heh, he even brought in a German exchange student to help translate to get something going on!

Thanks guys!
