I've ordered a CPU block prefilled, a 360mm rad prefilled, and GPU Block prefilled also.
This could potentially revolutionise water cooling, giving people a full modular loop with custom water cooling components. Its basically bridging the gap between AIO and custom loop without the hassle of getting the correct fixtures and fittings.
Think about it, if you want to add in a GPU, no problem just buy a new GPU block and it will fit into the same loop.
If you upgrade your GPU, no need to drain the loop and add in the parts, same goes for adding in more radiators, etc, etc.
Mine should all ship on Dec 1st so should be with me a few days later, I shall post pics.
EDIT:
The only thing I think they could do is add in the option for clear tubing and coloured fluid.

When EK meets Lego = watercooling for the masses!
Proper fittings and possible leakage are the main problems of custom watercooling loops for newbies if that's solved EK just opened a flow of new customers.

So theyโve literally brought back the EK-XLC Predator. Not really a fan of quick disconnects showing to be honest.
If i buy this Iโll change it to hard tubing.

Finally!
I remember when they said release in spring.., better late then never ๐
240mm variant would be perfect for my case.
So, EK-MLC Phoenix 240 + EK-MLC Phoenix CPU module, hmm.. Guess we're back ~230โฌ, like by Predator release

i can't wait until they ship this kit to the u.s.
as a fan of cpu's/gpu's at ambient temps or slightly above, i'm stoked - i can prefill extra reservoirs and radiators to add to the system...with probably less than 10 minutes to get the extra air bubbles out.
if they offer a pre-filled TR4 block i'm so on it.;);)

That a bit to expensive at over $400 US dollar when other all-in-one kit is way cheaper the Fluid Gaming line at $240.

I'm curious to know how long a liquid cooling setup like this would last, 4 years (or more preferably) no maintenance or parts failing?
I'm updating my system soon and was set on getting an air cooler, but now I'm thinking this could be an option. I just want to basically set and forget until my next CPU, apart from 1 or 2 year GPU updates.

I did something like this a couple of years ago - I got a whole bunch of quick disconnect fittings and placed them between each component in the loop. I think it made the loop too long though and it began suffering from low flow issues. I've now gone back to a simpler setup, with QC fitting only on the radiator (it's the only component that you regularly need to clean).

Sounds good on paper , but good luck with all the flow restrictions that quick disconnect brings ( I highly advised against using them , very restrictive item as per my own experiences ). Absolutely nothing beats a well thought out , well plan , proper water custom loop.

oh looky looky here ๐ one of my many reviews i did for Swiftech Water Cooling Company: Scroll down to the last one at this Swiftech.com link front page: It start with ( Chispy's in-depth user review ): http://www.swiftech.com/H220-X.aspx#tab5
oh looky looky here ๐ My hwbot profile and check out my achievements , i was into the top ten overclockers in the whole planet : http://hwbot.org/user/chispy/
If that is not enough , guess who is the head moderator at kingpingcooling.com who specialized in PC cooling ๐ : http://forum.kingpincooling.com/index.php yep you guessed right is Me ๐.
Now that you get to see where i have been and what i have done in the water cooling community or / PC cooling community overall you can grasp the idea of the vast knowledge that i have gather thru more than 13 years and you dare to tell me that i write FUD and that you know more than us Pups , errhh i do not think so.
Now show me your accomplishments on the PC water cooling community o_O , errhh ... exactly !
A whole different matter ( plummer , mechanical work on farm equipment ๐ , etc... ) , it is not the same , you are soo wrong ๐ , water cooling for PCs is a whole different ball game you do not know anything about. And yes i do know what i'm talking about as my expertise in cooling PC components is undeniable , be it air cooling , water cooling , phase change cooling , dry ice cooling and liquid nitrogen. Need some proof ?
oh looky looky here ๐ : One of my interviews on The Overclocker Magazine read pages 6 thru 9 and see for yourself if i'm really saying the truth. SHS
It is the same basic principle with any liquid kind cooling just like with gas or diesel engine, oils and heat transfer size matter on quick disconnect and proper pump design for building fast flow matter.
Hmmm about liquid nitrogen on overclocker which is not useful and am I supposed to be impressed by that ?, I think not as it not very useful in real world but never the less good job.
