No, firstly Danners dont exist out there in Europe, and i had the choice between this pump (~$50) and an Eheim (~$110 here). The choice was obvious as my budget was constrained. I'll probably get a Eheim when i have spare money (not the case currently.. must buy this 15K.3)

About the fanless PSUs: do you think
(...)Just have some massive HSs sticking out the back, screw the mosfets onto it (after insulating them with that stuff Bladerunner used (no idea the name  ))

Yes i was thinking along those lines. Actually i have 3 solutions
- buy a real fanless PSU ($300)
- build a PSU waterblock and watercool a 'standard' PSU
- mod a 'standard' PSU with an alu frame and oversized heatsinks
The 3rd option is seductive, light on the money but i fear the PSU frame would produce lots of heat. Now that i've got little airflow i must be careful about this :/
I was not decided until this WE. It seems my current PSU is getting old... So i may buy a Seasonic or a Zalmann and mod it.
