I wish they had used hard tubing in their water loop instead of flexible. It's a fit/finish detail that isn't usually worth the effort in a DIY build - but for something that is being produced in quantity it's not hard to figure everything out a single time and build a jig.
That's the kind of attention to detail you need in order to convince people to spend $4400 on a $2500 computer. (Or $2100 on a $1000 computer, etc).

Also, they didn't plug power cables into their GPU/Mobo for their press photos.

I agree. Normally, this is quite a difficult task, but since they are going to pump out the same system many times, they only really need to plan it once.

I would only pay that much money for a system with hard tubing; I already know how to do the soft tubing setups, so I wont pay someone else to do it.

But I did try building a hard-tube system once. Let's just say, I wished I didn't have a window in my case, it was ugly ;p
