HardOCP just listed a link to a waterblock that looks similar to something that people have been bashing DD and Rokk left and right about.
Ninjalane: Demonic XTC Block
Boys, I think its time to realize that these designs are just a new trend in mainstream watercooling. Just like the move to maze type blocks back in the day. Im sure that someone was whining and crying that they were the first to make a winding channel through their block instead of cross drilling, now its just a new look to an old gripe.
Personally I welcome new additions to the waterblock technological toolbag. Of course I will always recognize who came up with the theory, research and development. Though in the end, if its not patented, then shame on you for opening the door to everyone else to develop a cheaper mousetrap.
Ill come right out and say, nostalgia means nothing to me when buying components. If I have a choice between the "original" mousetrap for X dollars, and company A's mousetrap that kills the same mice with a spring thats a few pounds lighter, but costs half the price? I say screw nostalgia. Thanks for the concept Mr Mousetrap inventor, it works great, especially with company A's price comprimises.
It may be rude, it may be crude, but this is how innovations move forward.
I believe well see alot more microchannel, WW/RBX type of blocks hitting the scene. I say bring em all out, like the Maze designs that have become so popular and the spring loaded mouse trap.
