Top Nurse said:Well let me rephrase that bit about performance. Innovatek is the solution if you want to have something that looks good in a functional German way and has the capability of taking you to a truly integrated solution of high performance H20 hardware, electronics, and software. AFAIK, Innovatek is the only one who supplies in-the-coolant temperature monitoring capability, in-the-case temperature monitoring, fan control, AND all the Windows software to keep track of everything with graphs, system shutdown parameters, and fun stuff like that
Looks are a secondary consideration...

They need to expand to America where they can offer lower prices and more vendors
Then you shell out another $100 or so for the Aquaero and you're golden.
BellaCroix said:Don't really know what you're talking about how expensive they are... I wish I'd found AC before I laid down all kinds of money to buy 1/2" DD gear. Unless you're using the heater core from a 1972 Gremlin and an aquarium pump the price of the AC stuff is pretty reasonable for retail (at least from SNT-Systems). I laid down almost $100 for a DD radiator and wished Uncle Sam had delayed my check a week after I found all the kit there.
Lets see... Trick looking radiator for $83 (DD comparable $100), wicked cool reservoir $65 (there's nothing from DD to compare something that nice from DD, lets just say a crappy bay-res for $30), slick CPU waterblock for $70 (similar DD block $60), toss in a GPU block for $60 (compare to about $50 for a DD), $75-100 for a pump (which isn't too far off from what you're going to spend on a good pump anyway), drop a few more Jacksons on odds and ends and you have a great performing rig that doesn't look like everyone else on the picture pages and you're only out a couple extra bucks. Then you shell out another $100 or so for the Aquaero and you're golden.
I mean, what are you defining as "expensive"? Sure, it's going to cost you a little more than DIY, but from everything I've read both AC and Innovatek are excellent systems and well worth the expense.
As for which is better? I'm going to have to go with AC on looks alone. Both perform about the same from the reviews I've read and the prices and options are comparable. So what's left? Looks.
Just my two cents. Sorry for the commercial for SNT-Systems... hey, Dan... how about a freebie or something? Heh.

I have even spoke to an Innovatek sales manager about offering their products but nothing became of it.

Their MasterFreezer-I block is top of the charts.

Anybody else heard of them??
Top Nurse said:Not suprised as Innovatek is not to interested in the USA market as they say "we are doing a good job in Europe and don't need the USA business." If you want to import from them they say cash up front, must pay in Euro's, must pay all bank charges, and don't bug us as we will ship it when we want to...
Not really since both are low flow systems.Little Grabbi said:....Aaaaaand here we go, low vs. high flow again.
