Good Quality, Price Could Be Better!
If you have the money and the time, I say why not! I actually used this stuff to spruce up an entire college dorm common area... never got caught by the RAs hahaha. Barely detectable under normal lighting merely by the glossy effect it creates on surfaces, but if you do a good job it will work well! Check their website for bulk sizes if you want to use this for other applications, as I chose to. I plan on coating the inside of my cosmos case in a bright white layer to make it sort of foreign and unusual! |

Good Kit Overall, few issues...
I do love this product, but there''s something that I don''t like about it that I think really needs to be addressed--the resevoir is a pain in the behind to fill. It has a non-standard 11mm threaded fill port so any attempts to fill this are bound to result in hassles & ground teeth. I spilled several times thanks to this poor design... the included funnel is rubber (and doesn''t screw in...) and is miniature. I eventually gave up and stuck some 1/4 id tubing straight in and fed water intreveniously from the Feser One bottle being suspended a few feet in the air...
I do like this product! Koolance (or possibly frozencpu?) needs to develop a screw-in fill port or barb with the non-standard fitting to allow for easier air bleeding and filling without making the bloody puddles that leaked all over my floor.
Running this with an internal Koolance dual 120 mm fan radiator, a thermaltake p400 pump in line, and 8 water blocks... risky business but well worth it!
Koolance has an upgrade resevoir/pump kit on their website that I have yet to see in stock...
Pick up some 3rd party tubing, the stuff included with the Exos 2 is pretty stiff & unmanagable. |

Flexible, Good Fitting, Easy to Manage
I have the experience of 3 different types of tubing and so far this is my favorite.
I have used Koolance tubing, Thermaltake tubing (green *shiver*), and all three generally performed equally in kinking testing, but this was the best because it simply is easier to work with than stiffer tubing! No UV additives, no trouble.
Kink sufferers: I recommend elbow connectors... will save you a few headaches ;) |

Two of Four Tubes Bright
I purchased 4 of these tubes... when I hooked them all up, two of them were very bright, the other two seemed almost 1/3rd the light initially, but with time they seemed to grow brighter to about 2/3rds the light output of the other two tubes.
While these are the only 15 inch tubes you will likely find for a PC kit, you should check out Street Glow''s products since they also run on 12 volt power, often have in-line transformers, and generally are more reliably bright! |

Nice & Bright!
No problems with any of the 4 kits I purchased from another site, ended up switching to 15" logisys UV tubes.. turns out the inverters are intercompatable between logisys 15 inch and 12 inch tubes since I was able to simply unplug these and plug in the new UV tubes. |

Awesome Coolant!
This is great coolant, you will get a chuckle at reading the german/english translated labeling but it''s a good product.
I ended up needing ~1500 ml after spilling a bit during initial setup of my rig and was forced to mix distilled water... however, the UV reactivity of the fluid remained nearly unchanged! I will be swapping out the fluid once there is more in stock.
Side note: 1/4 inch tubing can be put over the nozzle on the bottle to help feed into your system''s fill port... pick up a foot if you don''t have any, just in case!
I had to buy this from DD because FrozenCPU was sold out for almost a month... |

I 3 This Case!
I''ve been through numerous cases in my day, more than I can count on one hand, and this is so far my favorite case, *despite* the following problems I''ve run into:
Cable management by-way of the side panel can be a hassle... you won''t be able to fit too many big cable connectors through otherwise the side panel will pop off to no avail...
Had an issue fitting in my physx card with a watercooling block, had to remove the rivets from the bottom of the case that held the lifter on the PSU and had to redrill holes to make space for the water cooling block below the bottom expansion slot.
I''ve read complaints online about the air flow around the hard drive bays but what most people don''t seem to realise is that the bottom fan enclosure can be mounted directly above the HDD''s (although this does direct the air flow to the front of the case instead of back...)
The positioning of the power/hdd led''s requires longer lead cables (32 inches) so if you plan on swapping them out for an alternate color then plan ahead.
The air output from the top-rearish area is a bit restricted and as a result your fans will wear out with time so keep an eye on that.
FrozenCPU sells a window kit for this case, in case you didn''t already know.
I bought this right before the Cosmos S was announced, I purchased this case from nozamA so I could get $4 one-day shipping thru Prime, although I do recommend FrozenCPU I just am a cheap skate =D.
Again this is my favorite case to date, I recommend it, so long as you are aware of the issues I mentioned above. |

Good Midtower Case, if that''s what you''re looking for
Very efficient and adjustable air flow, front fan speed controller is a standard 3.5" width space so you can upgrade to a better controller if you wish.
Side fan is a bit cumbersome. I got sick of it after a while and finally trashed it and removed the mesh grill to put in a plexiglass window.
The front swinging saloon style doors serve no purpose truely... took me a while to get over the appearance factor and I eventually removed them for ease of access to front components.
I personally am sick of controls and front panel connectors on the bottom of cases.. when your case is on the floor it''s not very convenient. I also found it to be a problem with room mates living in a dorm building, both front USB connectors were eventually broken by people stepping on connected devices such as keyboards or usb thumb drives (x.x) You could reposition the front panel connectors to the top of the case if you felt like losing a drive bay
Dust tends to collect in this case because of the mesh grills everywhere without any filtering... got to be a hassle.
This was my third case, and I have since upgraded to a Cosmos 1000 fulltower. |

Great Fans!
These fans are very glossy and have good air flow. I''ve been told Silenx fans are better but I have no basis to agree/disagree. |
