I had to ask because this is the first pump I have seen that I like the size vs the output. (Plus I can get it locally)
It is a little pricey....so be picky about things...it is a fairly expensive pump.
thanks

I have not installed it inside because I don't really need to and I take the loop down frequently to swap blocks. I cannot quantify the heat it gives off other than to say it gets warm. It is a direct drive pump which allows for massive waterflow if you have a loop which allows it as I do. I think it would be easy to find room in a full tower case for it. It is very quiet when running and I do run it 24hrs a day so it gets an A+ for being reliable so far and living up to its name from me
If you can get it local, bring it home and find a place for it in the case, you can always bring it back for a cheaper one if you cannot gain an advantage with it. Also keep in mind that it comes in two models where the exhaust is either top or side, choose the one that goes best with the location you plan in the case.
