Need a quick opinion!

As I was about to purchase my rads for my loop, I stumbled upon these gems:

Just curious if anyone has feedback on Phobya rads as whole. Doesn't have to be on this particular rad, just in general. Any feedback would be lovely and I will award you +5 internets.

I'm using one up the top of my Switch 810, it's lush

I have a 360 and it performs perfectly well

Nice pick, many other 240 rads are much more expensive.

Exactly. Plus, I'm thinking about having the silver sides anodized.

I got one of their huge 1080mm rads (takes 9 x 120mm fans on each side). Been working fine on my system for 24 months. No complaints

1080mm in rads? That's it? Not 2160mm? Dude your slacking... lol
You could just throw about any loop you want at it and it'll just laugh at you. Hope the pump stays strong enough to keep up the flow...
I'm jealous now tbh. If i could just fit a 1080 rad somewhere i would...

Radiators are not very restrictive compared to the other parts of a loop like a CPU Block or a GPU Block (to a lesser extent compared to CPU blocks).

I've used the same pump since 2010, no problems ^_^ I can't fit the radiator inside my case, I have the 1080mm shroud stand that Phobya sell for the radiator and it sits nicely under my desk on the other side of the case out of sight. I use Koolance quick disconnects to connect it to to the case.

My case is large but in all the wrong dimensions making radiators difficult to fit. Not impossible but difficult and they foul the window and motherboard quite badly due to the depth being almost nothing. So I decided to go external on it instead of gutting the whole case of its hard drive bays just to shove some radiators in the bottom so that they were out of sight. I actually like the hot-swap hard disk bays in my case and use them quite a lot.
