help me decide on a reservoir please...

this one will look nice in the case I'm getting (the gigabyte 3d aurora), but i'd like some alternatives...

(and hey, might just pair it with this one for the hell of it -

here's the biggest poopy issue - i run 8mm/10mm id/od tubing from a euro kit, and that's not changing.

also, I want to make sure it's easy to access for filling and topping off in case of evaporation or a minor leak or whatever.

here's some alternatives:

any thoughts guys? the bling bling factor is kinda nice but not ridiculously important. i much, much prefer reliability and performance.
the thermaltake is my first choice, like i said, but i would like input either way...

and please, for heck's sake, don't you dare say "build it yourself". i couldn't easily think of a faster way to ensure that my computer will get drenched in a liter or two of chemically treated distilled water... and i don't think my opty 165 would like that so much.

thanks....

jesus christ, frozencpu is raping on the thermaltake bay res/flowmeter combo $59 while i got mine at sharka for less than $45! I like it, it looks cool enough, plus since it is g 1/8 threaded it's easy to change to different fittings fittings.........


edit: it's $42.95 v $59 at frozencpu

thanks for the better price find. is the flowmeter res an easily fillable one? i was thinking that it might actually just wind up being my entire res.

Will I know you said the bling bling factor didn't matter but if you got the black gigabit case I just couldn't resist . 2 of these mounted on the top of your case using blue pc ice as a coolant(or simular) these would look just to dam boss for me not to suggest it.

Beam me up scotty

How about a new Aquabox? You can see some better pics here:

Or you also might consider using an Aquatube:

that aquabox is very pretty - it's the price, though, of both of the thermaltake res's put together... hmm

how easy is it to fill? the thermaltake bay res has a top hole that looks easily accessable...
