Sweet fucking fucks. Perfect example of why overkill is the best kind of kill. The one shame is that Shoggy says they don't plan on making a thick/high FPI rad, else I'd take a tower of those as an option if there was one.

If it's too much to read I'll sum it up:

Orderable with a special version of the AE5 Pro pre-installed, comes with extension cables; the control board is mounted separately from the faceplate and the 2 are connected via ribbon cable (messed this up initially)

Internal G1/4" ports for putting whatever kind of shit you want in it (maybe an extra pump or something)

Top and bottom have 170/180mm (edit; from the spacing it looks like it can take 200mm and maybe even bigger) fan mounts, or if you don't want to use that, a fan module can be attached that lets you mount up to 4 fans on each side (6 for the 3360AL), though it appears to only allow 140mm fans, no idea about 120mm

External Airplex Modularity dock connector (for linking 2 Gigants together), can be used as G1/4" ports, too

Price estimated around 500 euros for the 3360, all final prices will be shown in the shop when they become available

Mass production not likely, meant as a hand-made product for serious enthusiasts; the names of the people ordering it can be engraved in the plate at the top (where it says John Doe)

Forgot some stuff: they're planning on wheels and backlighting options, as well as an attachable Laing D5 module, and "motherboard support" and an "expansion tank", whatever those mean

Hmm looks very similiar to a design one of the members has on here i saw while looking around yesterday, i think it was one of ballz0r's builds that he ended up scraping
edit: I hope they plan on using a Blower type fan for those towers! it will need one at both ends to work properly on the tall tower. if not i dont see those performing well cause more then half the coils will go to waste

Damn thing looks like the rad for a home HVAC system!

Hardly overkill IMHO.

An hour of gaming or several runs of 3DMark is hardly what I consider load temp testing. Fold/crunch 24/7 for a week with CPU/GPU and get back with those temps. ;)

For those wanting near ambient water temps this is a requirement plain and simple.

This reminds me of that 4 mo-ra monstrosity of awesomeness that someone here built!

Any idea when available and is anyone planning on getting one? Some real world testing would be great.

Fuck man, you must be digging deep to find that one :)
