Phobya 5.25" Bay Reservoir Black
Phobyas first slot in the reservoir, with many technical innovations, attention to detail, a visual treat: A little more than a reservoir of plexiglass!
First and foremost, a reservoir the expanding cool water can accommodate and act when bleeding the system, ie during the initial filling, supportive. Here are the first technical innovations come from the developers of the House Phobya used: an internal channel system helps to vent, breaks down the air bubbles from the water circulation and flow back into the pure coolant in the system. Even with extremely strong pumps, the construction is designed so that no new air is sucked into the system! The filling of the reservoir can be traditional, let something go out that turn black nickel-plated Phillips head screw from the 3/8Zoll closing thread and then the liquid, the easiest means of a funnel, into running. An alternative and much more convenient way is to enter into a connection with a Fillport. The latter need the reservoir no longer touched and can be filled from outside the housing. The small details are what makes this major component of the water cooling as Interesting! Sun Open 4x 1/4Zoll thread many ways the tube with the container to bring here. This means the visual aspect is not to give way to constructive, but is brought into line!
Optics in addition to constructive another very important point! Especially with larger body you have always too much 5.25 "drive bays. These are now used addition to the practical component of the shoring of the Reservoir Phobya also ptical appreciation to the generally most viewed page of the PC is upgraded. A second thin Plexiplatte on the actual container protects the black adapter plate by the word of the brand product "Phobya" was admitted. In addition, on the other side, a level indicator to monitor is recessed so that is always enough liquid in the container and this will not be lost sight of. With colored liquid these snippets seem very appealing and set a very individual touch. This can be underlined further by the 4 x 5mm LEDs are mounted on the rear openings with its desired color LEDs which not only enhances the container, no, the entire front of her body!
Supplied with all necessary parts for assembly are included. On the corpse just to fix the container is pushed into the front of the tower and attached to the black screws. Since usually only 2 of the 4 thread holes are required, also contain 2 black nickel-plated plugs supplied.

Phobya 5.25" Bay Reservoir Black
It comes in the usual Phobya cardboard box that we are used to seeing but well wrapped in foam sheeting inside to cushion it from damage.
Once unwrapped as with all things Phobya the quality shines through straight away.It is a gleaming plexiglas single bay reservoir made to fit into a spare single drive space.
The front is beautifully finished with a black bezel made of more plexiglas and is removeable if that was what you wanted. It is fixed in place by four allen bolts finished in black nickel. The facia emblazoned with the Phobya name and a liquid level scale.
On each side there are two hank bushes inlet into the plexiglas to take the included fixing bolts. The rear of the unit has four 1/4" BSPP threaded holes clearly marked "IN" and "OUT" to use as ports. Three of these are for the entry side of the loop and you cna take your pick which is best placed to use in your system. Also supplied are two blanking caps, again finished in black for the unused ports. If you want to light your reservoir this has been thought of as well by the clever addition of four drilled holes of 5 mm diameter in the rear wall. These will take a standard LED interference fitted in each hole. I did find that on my review sample the holes were a little bit tight and some heavy handedness was required to persuade the LEDs to fit.
On the top is a 3/8" BSPP threaded hole to allow filling. This is closed with a large black finished screw plug.
Inside the chamber isn't just hollow as with many cheaper makes that you might come across. It has a clever design of baffles that stop any air that is injected with the water to getting to the outlet port. I even tried it with a Laing 655 pump at full throttle and it worked admirably.
Overall there is nothing to say against this product as long as the size is what you require. I award it 9/10.
