thats quite interesting.

So the CPU cooler is the giant radiator, and you can merely extend it to cool the other components without a total system reinstall.

This has some good potential, depending on noise

Notice how much the motherboard bends 400W~600W is just insane...

(I wonder when PSU manufacturers are going to make water cooling for PSUs?)

Those motherboards with a liquid cooled NB will love this. Will be the most easiest watercooler ever. Price will be waaaaaaay out of my interest rate, but it's still a very innovative and interesting product. Weight might be too much too, but doubt it's more that 1KG, mind that Intel stock cooler already bends motherboard like that.

Wouldn't mind owning this with a GPU block. One thing I just don't get, if the waterpump reservoir is hermetically sealed and requires no maintenance, how is it suppose to have enough water to cool 2 GPUs?

the internal tank could be sealed, with a second unit inside?

Must be something like that, will be interesting to see a review of it, doubt anyone is going to dissect it, but it would show the valves and procedure to add something else to the loop.
