Hello everyone,

I am just getting settled in a new house, and have a closet in my office that I plan to use for housing my servers. I have a stand alone AC unit to go in the closet that will duct hot air out though the attic vents (not into the attic, but out one of the vents in the roof). I am wanting to put a radiator for my workstation in the closet. Does anyone see any issues with this other than the obvious long haul it would take to get it there and back. Does anyone have any recomendations for pumps for this sort of long haul setup? Should I use a larger res to accomodate slow returns. I am thinking a loop something like, rad -> res -> pc -> rad, but I am open to suggestions. I have no WC setup in the workstaion now so I can optimize anything as needed. The distance is about 6 feet either direction to travel, maybe even up to 8 (will measure when I get home).

Can anyone point me to links of people having done the same sort of thing?

Thanks!
