Default VIA 1300 Pump Round up results...

Hey All, I was just wonder, among all of us, who owns a VIA 1300, like myself? I just got done reading the http://www.overclockers.com/articles723/ pump round up which featured a Hydor L20/30, VIA 1300, Eheim 1048/1250 and a misc Becket 150 Centrif pump... After seeing the results and reading, I figured that the pump that would out shine all the rest of the OVERPRICED pumps would be my VIA 1300, as you'll read at the end, but what I'm wondering is this: Does any of your VIA's make a nasty little HummmMmmMmmMmmMmm sound like mine? Maybe it's my cheap case that increases the resonation (sp)? I've got it suspended from my res, which is top mounted on my case, but is still fully internal etc... The Humm isn't too bad, but from some other's that I've heard about having the same pump that is nearly silent? What gives?! I've checked the shaft (ceramic) and it's perfectly straight, everything seems fine, cept for the Humm and oh yeah the massive heat it produces... BTW- I don't have any 90°bends, Nor do I have a restrictive block/Res/ I'm running a mix of 1/2 and 3/4" lines.... ARGH!
