I'm trying to figure out which one to get. I'll be using an EK dual D5 top that can fit an EK res directly onto it, but thats unpresentably uggly.
I'd like the pumps and the top they are attached to to sit hidden away but be attached to a separate cylinder reservoir that will be visible through the side panel window of the case.
There are a few, but I'm having a hard time finding any comprehensive reviews. Judging from the few I ve found (extremerigs.net), some cylinder reservoirs seem to have a bad effect on flow rate whilst others perform very good.
Koolance have some reservoirs that perform well but all their cylinders are acrylic scratch magnets when you could have borosilicate glass tube reservoirs from Aquacomputer or maybe the XSPC Photon but both of them seem to mangle flow rates compared to koolance (see flow rate/pressure plot on extremerigs.net).
Anyone know of any glass cylinder reservoirs that doesnt do bad things to flow rate/pressure?
