im hoping to change from a noisy and none to impressive air cooling setup.

i was looking for a pump that could run from a 12v molex connector, but all the ones i can find are 110 or 120 volt. is it possible to get a pump that will run from 12v? i know i will have to cut the head off and strip the wires but thats no problem. it would be using a 2nd psu as well though, so power drain shouldent be an issue.

i also have a rather outlandish idea for the resivour/ radiator. instead of using a pathetic little rad, or a big ole resivour, im gonna combine both in the form of a small central heating radiator. im thinking something about 2ft tall by 4ft long. do you thing this would dissapate enough heat? it would be totally without fans. i know it would stay a fair few degrees above room temperature but im not interested in massive overclocking.

what kind of gph am i going to need to this kind of set up? and more importantly will it work at all?

thanks in advance.
