For future reference.
The default hoses on the Eisbaer 420 units are just, ever so slightly, too short.
This video talked about it and shows.
I purchased one myself, hoping a more open case like mine would alleviate that problem.
Alas, pretty much ANYTHING that can mount a 420mm rad is going to be too deep for the waterblock to sit properly on the CPU assembly if you do front-facing fittings.
So you have to flip the fittings end around into the back, causing hose crowding and it just looks messy.
I'm willing to bet this is a problem on 360's as well.
Perhaps consider, on your longest units (anything 360mm +) adding an extra few inches to the hoses. Or respec ALL Eisbaer AIO units to be just that much longer.
You might add, what? $0.25-$0.50 to unit costs? Bump the MSRP up a buck or two and call it done!
ALSO, it would be GREATLY appreciated if you shipped sufficient screws to mount fans in a full push-pull configuration from the start?
This put my build on hold for nearly a week.
