this is the pump i bought..which is probably a bad choice:

and this is my radiator (mora 2 pro)
http://www.coolputer.fi/non-ses/tied...=1097&lang=eng

my waterblock will be the Alphacool Nexxxos XP reviewed by this site:
http://www.procooling.com/reviews/ht..._waterbloc.php

the other components in the loop will be:
AMD X2 4800+
2 X ATI 850XT PE (Crossfire)
Northbridge

and 2 SCSI HD (15.3 Cheetah and 10K Fujitsu) in this HD watercooler:
http://www.alphacool.de/perl/shop.pl...4&art_id=12410

as you can see, my loop has many components and must be very restrictive.
The alphacool nexxxos review indicated that in order to get high performance, you must have a high flow rate, which most likely my pump won't provide..

Now, the article in this forum about pump flow rate stated that the best pump are the:

Performance: Iwaki MD-20RZ
Jack-of-all-trades: Swiftech MCP600/AquaXtreme 50Z

Are those pump's quiet and where can I buy them online? Also, do you guys have any other recommendations on powerful but QUIET pumps?
