I had to keep my VA 1300 a couple feet away from my monitor, otherwise it would cause the screen to flicker. However it didn't affect my Samsung monitor. Also, in my experience, the VA 1300 is anything but quiet, not only does it hum, it hisses and rattles. Although maybe the impeller mod would have quieted it down some. And yes, it did run quiet hot, it can raise your water temps almost as much as a CPU can.

If you've got the money, go for a Hydrothrustor or Custom Sea Life Velocity pumps. I have a Velocity T-3 right now, and not only does it have insane head capacity (28 ft) it is very quiet. For a setup with as many restrictions as yours, you might need a pump with high head.

MY LONG LOST BROTHER!! Man, I think I was one of the 1st people to get one of them Via 1300's and I FEEL your HEAT er I mean ViBRATION, er I mean Pain! Mine Rattles, is HmmmmmmHmmmmm'ing away and w/o the system on, raises my water temps HIGHER than my CPU!!! HAHA, it's a loud, noisey POS, but it's CHEAP, and WAY more powerful/smaller than those overpriced Danners, Eheims etc... I love the little bastard! Damn Eheims sitting in cases look like mini Diesel generators! Taking up all kinds of needed space... I think they should start packaging FULL server towers with a purchase of any Ehiem! HAHA.
