Bottom Line:
SLCentral reviewed the Zalman Reserator 1, could this be the best cooling device on the market? Maybe, at $200 it mabe expensive but JonnyGuru still gave it 10 out of 10.

Conclusions
If you want a truly
quiet PC, you can't go wrong with the Reserator. Simply put, with nothing
more than a PSU fan spinning in your machine, you can not hear a damn
thing.
Because all of the
CPU's heat is evacuated out of the case, the PC can maintain a low ambient
temperature if you just use a power supply
with
a good
120MM fan on it and nothing more.
Naturally, watercooling
the video card will help bring those ambient temperatures down even more,
so by all means I recommend the "1 Plus"
model, or
buying the
additional VGA block if you can find the original Reserator at a good
price. Goodness knows, I'm going that direction and I'm going to lose
the PC50
case too so I can switch back to the standard size CPU water block.
All and all, I have
no complaints. It's quiet, it's cool, its VERY easy to install... It's expensive?
At over $200 it's quite an investment, but I can sleep with the PC three
feet
from
my head
and the big blue aluminum tower is a conversation piece that nearly rivals
a
Dale
Chihuly
glass sculpture. It's like a Venus de Milo for the uber geek. So in my opinion,
it's high price is NOT a mark against it.
I have to give the
Reserator a 10.
