I wish I could get accurate figures of the amount of backpressure my system puts on the pump, but its a considerable amount. When you factor in three waterblocks (one incredibly restricting), a 4.5' bong, with a restricting showerhead .... and with the intent on adding ANOTHER one or two hard drive waterblocks to the cycle, I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Considering everyone told me the 1060 was total overkill when I first got it ... and its proved inadequate now, I'd like to avoid the same mistake in the future.

Additionally, the electric bill isn't something I need to worry about in my current residence, thankfully.

But thanks for the info ... I was looking for that kind of clear data for a while, but never found it.

By the way ... there will be further projects involved as well. I may POSSIBLY have two or three PC's in the same loop some day ... and thats where I think the considerable power of this pump will really pay off. I consider a pump an investment ... and I'm glad I did invest in the 1060 at the time since it was widely considered the best and has lasted me a good many years (5?) with zero problems ... until recently. About the only concern that I have for the future, though, as you've pointed out, is the power consumption. I think I can stomach it though.
