Reservoir for Eheim 1250 and two BI Extreme

Nomad0 · 03-28-2002, 12:32 PM

Could somebody help me? Where can I buy a decent reservoir for Eheim 1250 and two BI Extremes (I hope that my system - 1/2", Lian PC-68 and Athlon XP 2000+, no overclocking) will work without fans. What size of the reservoir?

Thanks in advance.

I'd get a dubro fuel tank, in the 6oz to 10oz range. have the eheim pumping into one side, have two outlets for each rad, then go to a smaller dubro tank, say 2-4oz, have two inlets and one outlet, then go to the cpu waterblock

Thank you. It is real nice system - two small reservoirs. But, sorry, what does "dubro fluel tank" mean? Where can I buy it or how can I make it? Maybe somebody can make them for me (I live in UK)?
Thank you.

You don't need a certain size res for any system, you can run one without a res. Filling will be harder and if you don't have an air trap then bubbles may be a problem too.
I don't think you are going to be able to run your system without fans. Those rads don't convection cool even when placed optimally, and if you have them inside your case then they pretty much wont get cooled at all.
Can all those components fit in there? I don't have the bits to move around to see if they will fit but from what I have heard it'll be tight. If they can though I might be doing the same.

yeah i doubt it'd work without fans either, but I'm sure you could buy some fans that are quieter than the psu fan, and that'd do the job just fine

Thank you everybody. Of course, I am not sure that my system will work fine without any fans, but I will try. I am going ( firstly at least) to fit the pump and radiators outside my case. Anyway - my SCSI disks and CD-Rom and CD-recorder are external devices so I have enough room in the main case. I work with heavy applications (Oracle) 8-10 hours a day and my aim - to kill noise as much as possible. I have no expierence in that field - maybe the pump (Eheim 1250) will be noisier (sorry for my imperfect English) than fans and all I am going to do is not more than rubbish. Who knows?
Thank you everybody again.

how loud is your power supply fan? you could easily find a couple of fans that are quieter than the psu fan

Nomad0 · 03-30-2002, 05:50 AM

My SPU is Enermax 651 with two fans. My case is Lian Li PC-68. I am only a programmer and have no expeirence in hardware. I need the fastest HDDs (I have external SCSI 15000rpm, in other room) and speed demon PC (say, Athlon XP2100+, no 3D, no overclocking). So I use a Matrox G550. All I need - to kill noice before my nose.
Thanks

you can order the RC fuel tanks at du bro's home page directly. I think it is www.dubro.com or www.du-bro.com . Check 'em out.

tis the first one...

the enermax dual fan series is fairly quiet, but the panaflo 69cfm 120mm fans from caseetc will be quieter when run at 7 volts
