Yeah that's it ez fit
Now it's definitely not the first "pushfit" style fitting
For hard tube at least
@Vidar Tried some don't remember who made those
But the ability to take both hard tube and soft
Seems to be new
The ones vidar tried he had problems with
Trying to remove hard tube in situ was one I think
Will be interested to see first reviews of these
From independent builders in an actual loop
Particularly whether you can remove hard tube
Without having to cut it
In some situations yes if there's room to move one component
Might not be a problem
But if both ends are immovable wonder how easy it is
Not sure I really explained that very well
But hopefully you understand the is it difficult to remove
From a completed hard tube loop in situ

It was Barrow Wolverine fittings I tried and they where an absolute ******* nightmare! Once they gripped that was it, it was stuck and the release mechanism just didn't work right. Getting straight runs in was near impossible as they allowed no give in the tube. I had one tube snap trying to finagle it in.

I'm going to Tech Max in 2 weeks with a press pass to make some new connections and partnerships. If Phanteks is there i will ask about it, might even have it there on the day for some hands on.

Also a little announcement although not related to this build

Any unwanted hardware
I could still do with a belated birthday present

Seriously though
Good for you mate these companies sponsor people
They think will get them views and potential customers
So you're clearly doing something right

 

[moppy89]

Does the hardware get loaned to you for these builds or do you get to keep them?

Surely loaned? Just been looking through op's website, some seriously nice bits of kit on there.

MSI's stuff is the first bit of kit i've received that will be loaned, everything else has been keeps since i can reuse it in different projects.

Looks like it's all a ton of work and to be honest, they're getting their money's worth just from the photos even before you start building!

It's a lengthy process but i enjoy it and i absolutely enjoy what i do at the moment so i cannot complain.
