Apollo or Velox and Hydrolux question?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   So I see on the site the apollo and velox are advertised with the hydrolux cooling system and they look great, but I am not sure about getting a standard apollo without hydrolux and no lighting. Would it be kind of drab then having a big window and nothing to show off on the inside? 

Would you suggest the DS coridium case instead for those not interested in getting hydrolux?

Also: If I purchased Hydrolux is it worth the cost? I have noticed that ALL of the prebuilt apollo and velox don't come with hydrolux standard, when all the pictures show with it equipped. I can probably get the Hydrlox lite that cools just the CPU, and I am guessing you don't need the GPU cooler as well without overclocking the GPU?

	there's all kinds of ways you can customize your rig, it just depends on what your priorities are. if you only need one color lighting, you can have them install a mono-colored LED light strip or two. or you could have them do the full RGB remote controlled unit they advertise. i wouldn't jump to the expense of a full custom water loop if i wasn't intending to push the performance of my system with a lot of high overclocking. form over function isn't my thing, although form AND function is. a full custom water loop offers the highest potential cooling-to-noise solution possible, but most systems don't need it. you can get by on top end air or AIO water coolers for low-moderate overclocking.
