bah, I have that Cpufx pump, and it has been running 24/7 for a couple months so far. No issues at all. I'm wondering where people get the information that the pump was designed to be run on a temporary basis. Does the manufacturer of the pump state that ? I'd really like to know where this data is coming from because I hear it all the time.
I just can't get into the Eheim pump standard. Those Eheims just don't look too good in a case. They look big and clunky. If my Cpufx pump croaks, I'll consider other alternatives, but those Eheims were not designed to be looked at.
What can I say, I'm a fashion whore. One of these days, I'll post some pictures when I get done with my cosmetic mods. I have been too busy lately to continue working on my machine.
Here are some preliminary pics I took of my rig:

I have to figure out which sensitivity mode and other settings get rid of the blur factor when the CC is on. About 50% of those are kinda fuzzy. I guess this is the digicam learning curve. If I turn on automode with flash, it takes nice, crispy pics, but I took most of these on manual mode experimenting.
Anyway, here is a list of what I plan to do next on the rig:
Build and rubber coat a shroud for the Rad
Paint the interior of the case Black
Paint the 120 MM fan blades Blue
Change the LEDs on the Rheobus to blue
Change the knobs for the rheo bus to smaller black or blue knobs
Paint the DSP black
Repaint the DVD rom drive (it looks ghetto IMO)
Replace the floopy cable with a rounded one
Apply a rubber coat to the grey cable for the DSP
Bundle, tie, and rubber coat the mobo pin cables
I'm going to try and mount a dragon statue with a crystal in the middle with blue light coming from it to the top.
Still thinking of more I want to do with this.
