With that kind of bloody attitude, you'll be lucky if you get anyone telling you ANYTHING. Grow the **** up.
If you want opinions on the reserator that arent orientated this way (read: not that way that YOU want to hear it) then go to a forum that doesn't care about performance. If you came in here, and didn't expect this, then you're a fool. This isnt ocforums, nor is it ocau.
Car heatercore - $15aud (hell, get two - why not?)
Cheap block - $80aud, silver prop evo
Eheim 1048, 600 lites per hour $124.00AUD
Tubing - 10 bucks
Clamps, 10 bucks
Price, 254. Grab a 120mm fan at 5v for good luck, it might hit 270.
This forum is filled with DIY guys... Im yet to own a 'standard' watercooling part, from a company.
1) **** all.
2) Harder than the reserator. Mount the Rads on top, or on the side, and get some shrouds made up. Or, shock horror, do something yourself.
3) 254
4) Id say it would be pretty good. And to top it off, you could run it with a fan, or without... the zalman, you're stuck with what you've got.
Jesus man, you've got some ****ing cheek, coming in here for advice, then ripping the shit out of people for posting their opinions. You seem to take personal offence to it, and its down right sad. Obviously, you dont care what we think, so why post? Its pretty sad, it looks like you've already made up your mind anyway.
The zalman is fine for people that want to just buy something and use it. I'm afraid you've come to the wrong forum for that.
