I read on his site that the Cascade is lapped to 600 grit... I've always heard that his original WhiteWaters had immaculate lap jobs... but I was simply blown away by what I unwrapped this afternoon.
It's almost unbelievable that he stopped at 600 grit. We all know that he knows his water-block design, but I'm giving him an honorary PHD in heatsink lapping. I always lap my heatsinks down to 1500. I have access to what the engineers at my work called a 'standard flat block'. I *know* I can get a mirror like finish, but this STILL surprised me. I had originally planned on taking it down to 1500 but I know I won't need to. I've already spent a few hundred on all my chrome, yet I can't stop thinking of ways to show this block off. It *should* be the highlight of my computer... not a buried-away component hidden from view.
The item arrived in perfect condition, from clear across the other side of the world. I think it would be odd to leave feedback on resellerratings for LRWB... I also know that he has a flawless reputation on the OC forums. I simply wanted people to know that there IS a standard for quality manufacturing and in MY opinion, Cathar has significantly raised that bar.
Cheers!
