The only moderate draw-back to this though is that the Iwaki pumps aren't that quiet. They're not horribly noisy either, but they're certainly not "near silent".
hmm - surely the easiest way to get an RD-20 that spins at that speed at 12V is to use a step-up transformer to raise the 12V to the required voltage? (or indeed a dedicated supply at the required voltage since people may not wish to draw on tehir PSUs 12v rail(s)..)
