Conclusion

The left picture shows the back of the unit very well and we see four very nice looking copper heatpipes sticking out of the radiator. The right on the other hand shows the top of the unit, what im missing here is four screwholes for another fan on the top. This is something that they should really consider as some people want to run with two fans on the radiator.

Finally a picture with the unti mounted in one of my generic cases, and we can see that even with a generic case it fits perfect.
Testing:
After some testing with my own generic system by switching radiator from Blackice Extreme to this Thermaltake one, we noticed no difference. If we on the other hand mount a cd drive direcly under the fan the temperatures go up a bit because it gets so hot around the cd drive when using it so the hot air warms the water up a bit so if you decide to use this the ultimate solution is to save a slot of two under the radiator.
Conclusion:
This is a nice invention and it really does save space in the case so you can squeeze in watercooling in a small case also. The problem is though that it takes up some 5,25 slots so see to that you have some space there instead, problem with having something in the 5,25 slot is that if you have a cd, burner, harddrive under it heats up the air and the water slowly heats up. Otherwise I think this is a great product though and we got same temps as with a blackice radiator as long as it was clear under the radiator. Its a high quality product though and it was extremly well packed and a good accessories. We give this product 4 out of 5 for a high qualityand space saving product that really does work well.
Pros:
+ Small
+ Well packed
+ Tubing included
+ Good manual
+ Good performance
Cons:
- Units under heats the radiator up
