Exactly. Its not the best situation for watercooling over here. Thanks for that, if i cant find anything that suits my needs at OCAU ill probably end up getting it anyway - im after a cheap learning experience as well as semi-decent temps, so maybe ill get both with a little luck
edit - im finding more and more pumps similar to the ones ive seen the garden shop - ie, the pondmaster pumps they sell at below-0 in brisbane, which has 1000LH flow and 1.9m head. Apparently 'ideal' for watercooling, but hey, i never trust what a site has to say
Perhaps Cathar will recommend a pump since hes from aussie

seems like if anyone has had experience with a wide range of pumps, its him.
