Pricing for watercooling things is simply ridiculous. The entire case (7XL) + lots of extension trays for HDDs costed me less than 300 EUR, and only this little acrylic thing costs 400?

Honestly, if it would cost about 100€, I'd get it, just because I've been fancying building my next rig in the Define 7XL (sound dampened), and it decently offers an easy way to connect to the top filling port. I'd not connect the RGB though, because I have no use for it. For this price though, they can keep it.

wtf EK... I know this is a low volume product but your pricing definitely isn't helping either. Also, case-specific distro plates are dumb IMO. A normal tube reservoir or even EK's own flat FLT-series is much better because it allows you to migrate it into a new case.

Typical overpriced EK crap. I have only two things from them (the filling bottle and the pressure tester), and with the second one, the fitting they provide was the leaky part instead of the hypothetical leak it made me look for three hours.

I smell a bunch off poor peasants in here and rampant ignorance. And lots of whining. $100 in any currency for a block with a D5 PWN pump, drugs are bad people. $149 for my EK block my 6800xt, so tell me again how EK is over priced crap. And much better copper plate then all of the chinese ones out there for the same price.

Because this is not made out of copper or similar. It's plastics, and a D5 pump. That's why it's overprived at 400+ imo. But to each their own.

€409 is way too much for a glorified piece of acrylic with an unknown type pump. You can get a real Laing D5 + Heatkiller Tube (made out of steel and borosilicate glass literally one finger thick) for under €200.
