i have been running the rio for months now.. i have even been abusing the hell out of it by turning it on and off about 3 times a day...

still runs silent on my series loop of: maze2, becooling video AND chipset cooler, and BlackIce Extreme.

im bettin that the rio1100 will perform damn near the Eheim 1250 that should be here soon..

and for $20 you cant complain about that

if your worried about reliability... take your extra $ and get a DigitalDoc... put a sensor on your cpu... and a relay hooked inline with your PowerGood signal on your PSU... if your pump dies... the block will heat up in about a min or 2...(i tried it) (not real fast cause there is still water in the block.. and the copper to absorb heat..) but anyway... the heat will trigger the circuit on the DigitalDoc... and the DigitalDoc will trip the relay... and kill power to your box.. no harm done

honestly i would feel safer with that setup than with just an eheim and NO DigitalDoc
