This damn 'Christmas season' nonsense has put a serious hurt on my watercooling funds. I still haven't gotten that copper 16" x 16" Honda Civic radiator I want. And I'm quite tempted to get that new Swiftech pump if it's really as quiet as it's supposed to be. I'm a bit confused on it though. It's got 13' head, but the D4 usually outperforms it by a significant margin. I'll have to dig around for a graph of the Storm block's head loss and see where it stands. It is a fairly restrictive block so it should probably be a bit better suited to the G4 than the less restrictive MCW6000.

Crap, I don't know what I'm going to do. I think I'll compensate by taking my MCW50 out of the loop and maybe I'll buy a small Eheim and run it in it's own loop so as not to decrease flow in the main loop or dump heat into it either. I like my Mag 3, but it is a tad noisy to sleep near.
