Thanks for the tip Jtroutma.

Thniking about it though, I'd setup 1 or two pumps, submerged, in a res, above the PSU, along with a chiller. All of this in a tower case, of course!

This res would trap air, be easy to fill, quiet, and take up a minimal amount of space.

Hum. I'm starting to like the submerged pump!

But I don't intend on leaving it on all the time. My usual pattern is to leave it on for a couple of days, then turn it off for half a day. So now I'm thinking that the Rio might not be such a good idea.

I think that those people that slammed the Rios are just running a rig with a lot of flow resistance, and it kills their pumps, simply because it was under-rated for the purpose.

DC's seems to be running fine, and I'm sure he doesn't have any kinks in his tubing...
