Corsair scored well when the implemented the quick disconnect fitting on the Nautilus500 as this feature made this kit suitable for LAN events. I’ve been to a few LAN parties before and transporting a water cooled rig can be a risky task. With the Nautilus500, I simply disconnect the external unit, bag it, and I’m ready to go. Once I’m there, I simply plug and play! No more worries on loose tubings or checking for leaks. In fact, my water cooled rig was much lighter when transporting with the Nautilus500 unit disconnected. This was obviously impossible with most internal water cooling kit, including the Swiftech H20 120SB kit.
What has to be said? PC Modding Malaysia absolutely loved the N500, although they say the 775 standoffs could be better. To which I agree with whole heartily. You can check out our review of the system for comparison.
