ok thanks

maybe ill stick with the eheims, maybe go 1250 and submerge it

and maybe ill change all my blocks to innovatek

as for the heatercore.... nope, i already tried that type of approach, teh problems being:

1) theres not a 120mm fan in existence that i would consider quiet, even at 7v.
2) a single 80mm fan on a heatercore will cool diddly squat... let alone cpu+gpu+NB+mosfets+psu+HD's.... it realise TOTALLY on fan airflow whereas that huge innovatek rad will cool with just convection the equivalent of a dual 120mm radiator. Add one small fan and it makes a marked difference.
3) i dot want teh space issues that rads and heatercores bring.... the large passive rad on the side of the case not only looks a million times better but is far neater and allows more space for a pump enclosure and tidy wiring etc...
4) I hate heatercores, purely by pure virtue of teh fact that every forum you ever go to always bangs on about them.

as for the PSU, you're right up to a point..... really good fanless PSU's are good ina system that hes decent airflow but in a system with maybe just one fan its my belief that they will soon either:

1) fry
2) switch on their backup fan if they have one
