Always nice to see good-looking watercooling loops.
Though a good 95% of my interaction with my PC these days, hardware-wise, consists of buying RAM, agonising over the price of RAM, and being frustrated at the availability of ECC RAM (or the lack thereof).
I'm always interested in seeing watercooling loops, but this is the first time I've been interested in building one.
Every fitting before this variant has looked fiddly and prone to failure.
But I have experience with Sharkbite connectors in plumbing, and they're very impressive.

Ain't that the truth. Picture a PC running for 12 hours with about two rolls of paper towels packed into the case - because one never knows if there'll be leaks until you actually fill it up and let it run.
Never used sharkbite connectors myself, but they look interesting - and seem a lot less troublesome.
Maybe I should look into watercooling one of my fileservers or something. Been a while since I did anything like that.
I saw this a couple years ago (youtube.com). This is when I gained a lot of respect for Sharkbite connectors
