Gold plated coolers?

Wednesday, April 6th 2005, 7:49am

Are A-C coolers available, by special order, gold plated? Saw this link here at your distributor's website in Japan.

well read the bill!
COPPER!
Thies is "just" Copper. The Aquatube was avalibale in COPPER in October 2003. And yes it is not avalibill now.
Edit: But a silver Edition is avalibill!

We only produce the aquatube in black, silver, red, blue and titan. Copper was a special edition.

Did anyone read the first question correctly? :'(

Question was:

I think the answer can only be given by A-C ;) and I also think it'll depend on the quantity desired and the money you're willing to pay for it ;D

That part of the Babel Fish did not translate on my side. So this is the infamous copper Aquatube? Well so...can I still order gold plated CPU's and Chipset coolers? I like the look of my Koolance coolers. You would only need to plate the area touched by the water and the stuff you could see.

All the products you have seen on this japanes web-site are made of copper.

This products are modified with a thin layer of gold...

But these is a modification of a third party... Aqua-Computer does not supply any golden coolers...

Well fortunately the A-C coolers are modular in construction so gold plating them won't be too difficult on my side of the pond. It's always nice to have a Special Edition that no one elese can sell ;D

But what is the issue here? Gold plating looks attractive, doesn't cost a lot relatively speaking, improves heat transference, cut's down on corrosion issues, and of course just plain looks 8)

@Stefan K. : The question was for the gold plating of any A-C cooler and not if A-C manufactures (or manufactured in the past) copper aquatubes.

So, yes I read your answer, but I was not glad with it  ;D
Nix für ungut!  ;)

As I asked Chris he told me that these coolers weren't refined by AC.

wir waren das nicht...

Another thing I didn't understand in your answer was: 'We only produce...'
Aren't you just a store for A-C items? You are also involved in the manufacturing process?

Well...if A-C doesn't make copper Aquatubes anymore where did they come from? The date on the page is 7-24-04 or something close to that. Is your Japanese distributor making copper Aquatubes under a manufacturing sub-license? If so perhaps I should be talking to them?

nobody manufacturs an AquaTube CU anymore. When it will be build in future again, it will be done by AC.

Along this same line does anyone know if Aquatubes are available in the raw or in an unanodized state?
