That is the advantage, you can take your pick. More power or more loops? Its your choice. The units are compact enough you can line three abreast on the floor of a computer case in a 6" x 2" x 2" volume. Dual circuit for dual CPU, seperate video circuit, whatever you want. Your MCW-Chill thing for optimum performance uses three water circuits. CSP pumps would be pretty good solution there I think. Wouldn't be out more than $120 bucks for the pumps either. If I bought three MCP650's, it would literally cost me twice as much for the pumps.

other examples ???????

The Exos is a consumer grade "solution" that's designed for OEM stuff. Fill'n forget type appeal. Exos systems in say an Alienware are pretty much designed to never be taken apart. If one pump goes, user never knows., 'puter just locks up every so often. Redundancy with CSP pumps is a fringe benefit, but it's the scalability of the pump's performance that interests me. Just because Exos rigs use dual pumps doesn't infer that CSP's are junk, if that's what your suggesting.

the Laing D4 has over 4 yrs service history in solar heating systems - which are far more demanding than watercooling

I don't cruise the solar-heating forums much, sorry. And Laing pumps are generally out in the watercooling market, so I guess I'm wrong on that one. Chalk one up for unregistered. But, in doing my badly needed research I realized the pump Danger Den sells looks eerily like an MCP650. As a matter of fact, the schematics of the pump for both Danger Den and Swiftech appear to be identical. The Danger Den one is $75 instead of $79. Danger Den has been selling that pump for some time. At least all summer I thought you guys had a contract with Laing. There's got to be some difference there, what is it? I'm curious now.
