How soon will you be able to test that theory out!

I like their RAM alot. Have 4 sets of their memory currently. I even decided to buy some of their memory fans today - for use on my sets of Dominator memory. Plus I also got one of their powersupplies for my most recent build.
But I'm leary of expecting too much out of Any company. And in this particular instance, I need / want superior performance, which depends on the pump and waterblock. This is something they aren't showing, or talking about directly. Apparently they did tell the Bit-Tech guys some revisions were made to the Asetek design. Still the proof is in the "pudding" (so to speak!).
Also I have personal experience with Koolance products. So I'm inclined to put together a custom system with their parts, even though I know it will be pricey. It's just that their gear is high quality.
Well it won't be me testing it. Probably Kyle and after that the guy who writes the cooling hardware reviews.
Whoever does the review, noise levels would be greatly appreciated. My current PC is almost as silent as my iMac thanks to the Zalman CPU fan and Corsair PSU that I'm using (swapping out my 8800GT for a GTX 285 for my main video card did the rest), but I barely want to detect a hum out of the i7 PC I'm building this October.
If this thing does the trick, awesome, I'll buy it in a second. Maybe two.
I'm finding that too, lately. I had an ultra high speed Panaflo fan on the CPU in my Opteron rig and it sounded like a jet engine raping a leaf blower and somehow didn't bother me.Yeah noise levels are becoming more and more important to me as time goes on. My computer room sounds like a freaking data center.

Now I'm thinking of replacing all 6 case fans in my Lian Li and need headphones to drown out the stupid GPU when it starts creeping up to 90C under load.
I gotta say, between the new Corsair Obsidian case, their new 850W PSU, the H50 CPU cooler, and some of their DDR3, its looking like I'm going to have a quite a bit of Corsair gear under my desk in a few months...
Likewise. I was all ready to buy an HAF 932, but after seeing this Obsidian.. I'm going to have to hold off on that. Now, I'm waiting impatiently for them to release these two. On top of that though, I have a 550vx at the moment and am looking into upgrading to a 750hx.
That makes three Corsair products I'm waiting for.
I own a HAF-932 and just love the Obsidian case design; very clean, very stylish. Now price-point is the only concern with it. If the price is in the range of the HAF-932 (or cheaper!) that will definitely be something I'll consider in the near future.
Yeah, the $300 pricetag is my only sticking point, but I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and go for it. I've had my Lian Li forever and I think I've squeezed enough value out of it.
$300? Ouch, I missed that somewhere, though I kinda expected it to be expensive. As much as I like the case, I can't justify that kind of money for one when I could spend the money elsewhere to actually improve the overall computer build (Better/more RAM, higher end processor, etc.). It's one of the reasons I've yet to buy a Lian Li, even though I like their cases as well.
Ah well, kudos to Corsair for a very nice looking case.
Any idea when kyle will post his preview/review?
I would also like to see how the cooler performs with different speed fans, not just a 1700-2000RPM fan, perhaps something like an 800RPM Scythe.
