Where to buy an Iwaki-MD15R?

Zhentar · 02-08-2004, 04:16 PM

The title about sums it up. After taking a 3-month break from messing around with my computer, I'm ready to start breaking things again, and I want to start by buying a hopefully quieter Iwaki MD-15R. But I don't know where is a good place to find one; I'd appreciate any advice.

Also, I'm in need of a waterblock for my new Radeon 9600. Any recomendation there?

Well, the place I bought mine is out of buissness, or at least is off line.

I'd suggest the new Silverprop Fusion water blocks to you for consideration. Brass toped so no corosion risk, and it's a micro channel desigh.

EDIT:

www.criticool.com

Only site I know of that has them in N. America, as they are made in Aus.

I forgot to mention my main requirement for the GPU cooler: I've got a YY-0221 case, so the mobo side is unusually shallow, and things would probably work better with the barbs parrallel to the PCI slots/board instead of the normal perpendicular.

Here's one.

However, I and many others have gotten one through E-bay, they pop up from time to time, just keep an eye open.

sbud,

Good link, $10 cheaper than what I paid.

Do wish they had the MD-20rlzt, but great pricing.

Zhentar · 02-09-2004, 10:11 AM

thanks for the link, that'll be perfect.

I'm a bit leery about purchasing the pump on ebay; I am concerned about noise, and ebay has no guarantees about the quality; I could easily end up with an unusually loud one.

sbud · 02-09-2004, 11:25 AM

I think the name gaurentees the quality already

My ebay special

Got it new for $60 (avg. price for em on ebay).

Noise never was an issue. It's slightly louder than the MCP600 I had before it.

The name does guarantee quality, but it does not rule out minor impellor damage by the previous user...

I'll get peace of mind and instant gratification; that's worth the extra money to me.

Greed overtook peace of mind, and I checked out ebay. There's an Iwaki MD-15RN1 listed. What is that extra N1 for?
