Just wondering, a few years back I was reall yinto watercooling and at the time due to lack of commerically available products there was a large and active ghetto modding spirit, making your own waterblocks, getting heatercore's from old cars etc.
The one thing that I saw back then which always interested me was the use of manifolds, where a single inlet from the pump entered a large block from which several other loops were split off, for the NB/GPU/CPU etc.
I was wondering, was the severe flow restrictions why these never really took off? I guess it's easier and better for the loop to set it up in serial now or even having two entirely separate loops.
