The Glacier 600, pictured here, differs from the Hydra in that it's just a water block. No air cooling need apply.
As you can probably guess, the Glacier 600 shares the same nozzle configuration as the Hydra -- 360 degrees of operation, and included fittings for 1/2" and 3/8" tubing setups. At least you don't have to manually screw any of those retaining mechanisms onto your tube. Tightening devices are already built into the nozzles for you.
The waterblock itself is light as light can be. I was actually surprised by the weight; I'm used to beefier blocks. Obviously, that's a good difference between aluminum -- the Glacier 600 -- and an all-copper design!
The underside of the water block has an awesome, circle-pathway effect going on. Now if only Cooler Master could have resisted the temptation to slap the biggest logo ever smack in the middle of the block. Sigh.

Is coolermaster Glacier 600 (RL-VAA-FN11-GP) Compatible with Thermaltake BigWater 760i? Is Glacier 600 NICKEL or PLATING???

Alienware also has the screws directly on the case like the above picture. For a case-only though, good that they finally did that. I'm iffy about the hard drive bays. I had the Antec LanBoy with that same type of hard drive cage holder, and my drives would not lock into place. They would always have to go in at an angle like the drive would slip out of its tray.
Overall though, I might consider getting one.

Compaq has been supplying your drives screws in their cases for years. Look like a standard socket head, without the hex socket, it's used in their locking mechanism for drives. Tho, some other head type screws will work (somewhat), these aren't something you can pick up just anywhere and make it most secure. Ah, proprietaryism...gotta love it.
