<edit> Full review posted </edit>
I know, I know... I'm posting before the job is done but I'm just so excited!
First Impressions
Looks: sweet! I got the Aluminum model and it's one slick looking, light piece of work.
Instructions: Pretty good but it actually dumbs things down too much. For one thing, there's no indication on the unit or in the instructions as to which connection on the unit is the output and which is the intake. It basically says that since the temp difference is typically less than 1 degree C, it doesn't matter. But how hard would it have been to mark the lines on the unit?
Installation: Couldn't be any easier. Aside from the learning curve of fitting, cutting and securing the tubing (which is the same regardless of the kit) it's pretty simple. I opted to use regular hose clamps instead of the little crimps that come with the coolers (thanks codeflux)
Noise: What noise? Seriously, when the fans are at low speed, there really isn't much to hear.
Tomorrow I'll get everything installed and tested. I'll post back with th results and the pics. Sorry, I didn't get any pics of the setup because I was pressed for time.
I am stoked!
