Alphacool Unveils Core Distro Plate Series
The new Core Distro Plate from Alphacool is a must-have for every performance-oriented custom water cooling system. It greatly simplifies the planning, construction and maintenance of complex water loops. The Distro Plate features an integrated reservoir with pump top for VPP/D5 pumps. Due to the arrangement of the G1/4" connections, confusing and complicated tubing paths will be a thing of the past. Therefore, the Core Distro Plate is ideally suited for custom water loops in which CPU and graphics card(s) are to be cooled simultaneously.
A beautiful and elegant element of the Core Distro Plate are the chrome-plated, brass G1/4" connectors. Recessed into the acrylic and fitted with an O-ring, the connectors are absolutely leak-proof and support the clean and functional look of the Alphacool Core Design series. The connections are not screwed directly into the acrylic to prevent cracking and resulting leakage.
Alphacool's Core Distro Plate is made of high-quality acrylic, which allows a clear view of the coolant and provides brilliant illumination through the built-in, digitally addressable aRGB LEDs.
With the help of the included Core Push Mounting Kit, the Distro Plate can be easily mounted on the case panel or on a radiator. This ensures stable positioning as well as easy disassembly for maintenance or expansion projects. The Core Distro Plate is now available as 240 mm or 360 mm variant with left or right placement of the pump top in the Alphacool Online Shop.

The pump won't work in that orientation.
You're right, the picture is just to illustrate the connections and look good. ;)
I tried to build my own distro plate, without the proper tools/specialize shop it was quite challenging. I wasn't good with CAD... :)
Either the pump pushes the water to the reservoir and then to the radiator but there's not enough water (1), or it goes to the GPU (2) but then the CPU block is connected wrong (water goes in through the outlet).
They might have different pricing for different currencies. Shipping costs from Germany to the USA are not inconsequential. Naturally US retailers who carry Alphacool products will have different pricing (and different shipping costs).
I had the exact same CPU block and can confirm the inlet should be the left one
