Razer's new project

I didn't say anything about electronics, metals or silicon mate. The key thing is it leeches the elasticity out of rubber (cables) and makes it brittle and breaks it over time. It also creeps/walks up surfaces as well, so if you had a cable submerged it would creep up the cable etc.

It's not a solution for everyone, hence why I don't think it's a great idea for Razer in this case.

Ahh i see, my bad:p
 
Surely Razer have this all thought of, I can't see them releasing the product and everyone goes wtf dudes, your f'ing oil has damaged my system, we can't see in the compartments so we don't really know whats going on.

You say this, but, their mice break ALOT = more replacements = more money.

Their headsets are complete trash, the mics are rubbish and often break off, even on the £150 + megladon and that other one they released that's got "true 7.1"

Believe me, Razer aren't afraid to cut corners but keep the markup high fella. They love repeat customers which is why their gear falls apart so readily.

Exactly the same theory as the rustproof car, they'll never exist!

The little bankers, good job the only thing I have from them is the Razer Sphex lol.
 

The same can be said about any product, I've had a lot more Asus products go wrong on me than Razer.

The only fault I've ever had with a Razer product was the CTRL key LED flickered and I got it replaced.

So far I've had 1 Asus mobo arrive DOA and that was the Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z, An Asus 1080P monitor that had very bad back light bleed, So much so in fact that nearly 50% of the screen was unusable so I sent it back and got a replacement.

Another Asus mobo died after a week of use, The Asus Sabertooth Z77, No overclocking was done on it and the first 780 Ti I got was from Asus and the GTX logo did not light up.

And from all that I've had about 5 mice, 3 keyboards and 2 headsets from Razer and none have developed a fault apart from the CTRL LED I mentioned above.

So the fault tally so far is - Razer 1 - Asus - 4

I actually think this is a really great idea, and despite people finding it tacky, I think this design looks stunning. I'd have one just for looking epic, but I doubt I'd use one as a main rig.

How far apart did you have those 5 mice? Razer gear seems to last on average about 9 months to a year in my and fellow other's experiences...

It's very well-designed indeed, and cooling it with mineral oil so that it's whisper-quiet - or even more quiet - is really cool, but I love swapping parts in my pc myself without just having the ease of clicking something new in. Makes it too easy, also the Christine is probably very expensive ^_^
 
Yeah I'm sure it will be expensive, but a great innovative concept nonetheless :D
I don't quite see why the mineral oil cooling would work completely silently though, the heat has to be dissipated somehow.
 
Some kind of none-conductive water-based fluid would have sufficed over mineral oil.. as I've already said it's not what I'd put down as my first choice for a 'consumer friendly' fluid in something like this.
 
Looks great from a design perspective and love the water/oilcooling they did. I wouldn't blame the for the price each new products costs more in the beginning and then drops, it's just the normal lifecycle of any product. I won't buy because I still like to fiddle around with some stuff and getting my hands dirty. But I would recommend one for my parents because they don't want to do it themself or just don't know how. It's great for the people who want easy upgradeability with a nice design. I think it's a good way to modernise and the computer world for people who just want a running pc. Just hope they don't take away the toys for us big boys who like to do anything for ourselves. Just my opinion
