Just received my Swiftech H220x so no longer need a cpu block or a rad other than a 360mm, Only would be interested in the res if it would fit my case, and the pump.
I tried desperately to buy an H220x in the states last year (after they'd voluntarily pulled it from the NA market), but I'm glad it's now available. I remember it tested incredibly well.
The Photon 270 is a large tube res, and definitely won't fit in every case. If you're interested, check it out on the XSPC website (www.xs-pc.com/reservoirs/photon-270-tube-reservoir), but its dimensions are 270 x 75 x 75 (mm).
The pump is a bare D5 Vario (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_201&products_id=35560), to which I added the Bitspower D5 Mod Kit (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_439_773&products_id=27891). I basically made the PPC Über 655 (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_201&products_id=29094), without the Koolance CTR-SPD1224 control board.
IMO, the pump is awesome looking, and the Bitspower mod kit can be removed in two minutes, although the bare D5 needs a top of some sort to function.
You can compare my pump to a normal D5 Vario (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_201&products_id=28303). The standard top (houses the in-flow and out-flow ports) is made from cheap plastic, and IMO, pretty ugly, and the Bitspower mod kit is all aluminum, and not very expensive.
BTW, in case you're confused, the Swiftech MCP655 I linked is a D5 (and XSPC doesn't sell a D5 with the cheap plastic top, probably because it's ugly). It took me forever to finally realize that a Chinese company, Laing, makes the actual D5 (and DDC), and sells it as an aquarium motor. Swiftech, Aquacomputer, XSPC and many other WC companies simply buy their D5s and DDCs from Laing, and then rename them (only XSPC, I think, continues calling them D5 and DDC).
It was months before I realized all these companies were selling the same pumps, and I felt stupid for spending so much time trying to decide between the Swiftech MCP655 and XSPCs D5 Vario, not realizing they were the same exact pump (and the Swiftech MCP35 is actually a Laing DDC, just like the XSPC DDC).
In any case, let me know if you're interested in either component.
