I realize that you are asking about pumps, but it looks as though you are planning to use
two radiators.
If so, be sure not to put them in "air series" (i.e. don't set them up so that the air outflowing from one rad becomes the intake air for the other). For a full explanation take a look at Cathar's comments in
this thread .
The PA160s (although I've never laid hands on one) are optimized to work with fairly quiet fans. Your SanAce 38s might be overkill for the PA160 - will work fine but might make more noise than you'd like. Any idea how well they work with PWM controllers?
Also - don't forget that, for an external rad-box, using AC power might actually be more convenient than DC - and If I lived in a climate like yours without A/C, I'd be thinking of building a radbox I could hang out the window and leave most of the heat and noise
outside. Not that CPU/GPU and pumps generate
that much heat (major culprit would be the CRT unless you're got a LCD) but no point in making your "hotbox" even hotter...
