I think the AquaCoil uses 3/8 inch pipes, so 1/2 on the rest of the system would be a waste.

All MagDrive pumps produce some type of magnetic feild. I have no idea which is most intese. I wouldn't worry about it. HD are well sheilded from that sort of thing. Just don't mount the two on top of one another. Though i should probablt look into that . . .

About keeping the pump on all night, thats what I plan to do. Initially I'm just going to wire it to the AC line comeing into the case so that it runs when ever the case is plugged in. I have no idea how loud it will be but I hope its not too bad. If it is then I'll setup a relay.

I've never heard of the surge protector you speak of. Could you be thinking of older AT form computers that had physical on/off toggle switches? On those you could just leave the computer on and hit the surge protector to off. Then when you hit the surge back on the whole system would come on.
