No relation to Beast-PC I'm hoping?
Sadly we have been tarred with that brush a few times but no we aren't the same company.

Thanks

Good to hear, always worth clearing that up early on :)
What an act of love the new Beast is. Cool or what? Seriously how much gaming must anyone do to get the most out of that?
This system seems to be all over the web - it does look nice though I do have a problem with this “ground breaking” Para-flow system.

“According to BEAST, the trouble with your average water-cooled setup as that the internally mounted radiators are cooled by sucking in air from outside the case, through the radiator, and into the chassis.”

Look at any other manufacturers systems and show me one which pumps hot rad air into a case….. I appreciate the fact that it's a custom design for the chassis but the first thing you do when watercooling is make sure that the radiator air is pumped out the case.

Also:

- 3 rads in a case in the same loop is a bit of a waste, why not split it up?
- you'll have fans blowing air in your face if it's on a desk from both sides, not just one
- there are 4 fans sucking air through the 2 rads which are fed by 1 140mm fan, surely this is sufficating the 4 x 120mm fans and they'll simply churn the air around outside the case?


I don't want to sound too millitant but it seems to fall way short of groundbreaking - it actually hinders the radiators performance. And, as someone on the Custom PC forum pointed out, the interior is exactly the same as a system they reviewed recently - Kobalt ICE X:confused:
