Condition: Excellent. No major blemishes. Was used about a year and shows no signs of corrosion. I only used Zalman coolant with it.

Description: Watercooling tower reservoir with pump inside. Connect the tubing to waterblocks attached to your heat critical components such as CPU processor, GPU processor, GPU ram, Northbridge, Southbridge. There are no moving parts except the pump inside the tower which you can only hear if you place your ear against the unit. It's a great silent replacement for noisy fans. Will not leak inside your case. Zalman is a quality brand. Test outside your case first to be certain. I had no problems.

Coolant: Use a coolant that will prevent corrosion. My unit is in near perfect condition, I've only used coolant made by Zalman. There is no corrosion. You cannot use pure distilled water, you must include an anti corrosive agent with the water. You shouldn't use water to begin with. Zalman made coolant uses propylene glycol with a corrosion inhibitor. You should also drain the coolant and replace it once the anti corrosive agent is no longer active. Should say on the bottle how long before you have to replace it. Zalman coolant lasts a year.

Compatibility: If you're using the included water blocks then your compatibility is limited to what those blocks will fit. If you want to get it to work with the latest processors then you need to find custom made water blocks designed for those processor sockets/graphics cards/northbridge. Make sure these blocks use the same size tubing as the Zalman. Clamp those tubes down onto the fittings with the included clamps. From there just hook up the flow indicator somewhere in between and you're good to go.

Here's a video to show the end result:
Zalman Reserator with Xbox and PS3

All you need is a CPU and GPU waterblock that uses the same size tubing as the Zalman Reserator. The Reserator Couplers accept 12mm or 1/2'" tubing. Other sizes are possible but you'd need different size couplers. The included CPU and GPU blocks that come with the Zalman could not accept different size tubing. 7/16'' should also be ok. Any smaller tubing than that would be a really tight fit and might start to rip. However, if you are using a block designed for the PS3 or Xbox then that's not something you have to worry about. Just get the right size tubing and a waterblock that uses the same size as the Zalman and you should be good to go. Just hook up the waterblock that fits your Xbox or PS3 to the Zalman with the Flow Indicator somewhere in between.

Here are some combos designed for Xbox:
XSPC Console Water Blocks
XSPC Hose Fittings

Tubing and Thread Matching: Just make sure the fittings say 1/2" ID, that's the diameter of the tubing it accepts. G1/4" is the size of the thread. Match the the thread size of the block to the thread size of the fittings, preferably from the same manufacturer so you know for sure they will fit. Then match the tube size to the Zalman which is 1/2" ID. G1/4" to 1/2"ID.

These are just ideas and suggestions. Keep in mind that this unit entails that you do some tinkering and you need to be somewhat mechanically minded. Watercooling isn't entirely risk free and you do this at your own risk. I'm not responsible if you damage your system. You can do your own research to verify what I'm saying. Test thoroughly for at least a day outside your system for any leaks before installing the block inside your system.

Includes: Zalman Reserator 1 Plus, Flow Indicator, I/O Bracket, 2 sets of Quick Couplers, CPU block zm-wb3 gold, VGA block zm-gwb2, Fasteners, and two lengths of approximately 5ft long blue silicone tubing that came with the unit (4m long, 12mm outer diameter, 8mm inner diameter manual says; looks equivalent to exactly 1/2" when I measured it).

It supports Intel's Socket 478/775 CPUs and AMD's Socket 754/939/940/AM2 CPUs with the default water blocks, however it can fit any CPU and GPU if you have a customized waterblock for it.
