Anyone know about some real tiny submersible pumps, i dont care about how much water they move, i just need a tiny and cheap submersible or inline pump. It must be real small.

I have a Rio, I think it's a 600, and it is really small...at least much smaller than I expected. Like 2"x1.5"x2", not including top 1/2" bit output.

It's the Rio 600, rated for 200 GPH at 0' lift. Get it here (http://www.marineandreef.com/shoppro/rio-pumps-top.html) for even cheaper than I got mine...there's also a great spec sheet for tons of pumps here (http://www.aquatictech.com/pumps.html).

Just out of curiosity, what do you want it for?

:rolleyes: There are several different types of watercooling setups.

i want this pump for a chipset/video water cooler. I have a pump for the CPU, a marineland 1140 powerhead that i transformed into an inline pump with some fittings that pumps 300gph ($29.95 at petsmart), i didn't want to put any more load on the cpu pump. all i want to cool with the small pump is a geforce 2 and a Kt133 chipset, plus i just bought a full tower case because my mid tower was crammed and had no room for the water cooler. i want to keep the new case uncluttered and neat inside, i saw a picture of a rio 180 and it seems perfect, and it's cheap. Thanks !!
