Why would anyone buy this? It is essentially 2 S3+'s crammed into 1 case with the added hassle of liquid cooling.

1x C1: 1 BTC + $50 in cooling parts + hassle of water cooling
2x S3+: 1.07 BTC   <-- Still the winner

Well at least you save some shipment charges......

2x S3+:
1.07 BTC
0.087 Shipping to US
= 1.157 Total

1x C1:
1.0 BTC
0.048 Shipping to US
0.13 (Cooling equipment $50 @ $377/BTC)
= 1.178

It doesn't save that much space since you still need room for the cooler.
It's not any quieter since the radiator will still have fans.
It's not any more efficient since it is using the same hashing boards.

I don't get it. I guess some people just have a hard on for liquid cooling. Huh
