Thanks, thought that might be the case.

 

What's the difference between the Dark Rock, and the Dark Rock Pro?

 

The Pro 2 is dual tower, while the non-Pro has 1 tower.

i'm sporting a Prolimatech Megahalems Black Edition and it is not as big as the D14

and TC14PE, but a compact efficient cooler without monster weight.
