I did my research and decided to go with the swiftech MCW 462 mostly because I hadn't been able to find any complaints on any review sites.( although I will most likely get it for several weeks.) also I found a site that sold the Haden 1676 for $ 29.00 so all you OC sites out there selling it for $40-50 kiss my a** ! I got A shiney new tower and now I'm stumped! I was about to buy a mag drive 250 for $33.00, when someone tole me its loud as hell! They told mo to buy the Eheim 1046. that ist less noisy and that the magnetic field extends only a few inches compared to the Mag Drives 2 feet of field. Now I have also been told that the field will not affect anything either way. I have heard that the extra flow of the Mag cools better but I have also heard that the Ehiem's slower flow cools much better. price doesn't matter I had a budget of $50 foe my pump. Someone please help me choose! P.S. I do plan on adding a vid cooler in the near future if that makes a difference.
