Good Pump/Resevoir Combo?

[nikhsub1]

Does anyone make a good pump/res combo (all in one)? I want to keep my h2o system small as possible. Also what do you think the best 5x5 radiator is? Black Ice? One more thing, does anyone make a 12v powered pump that will run off of my cpu's PSU? I don't want an external power cord for the pump! Any thoughts are appreciated!

you could buy an underground electrical box for a res and stick a submersible pump in it. There are places that sell it together, I forget where. You could also just run without a res if you want to save space, you dont really need one. Dunno about the best 5x5 rad. And yes, there are 12v pumps. Again, dont know where exactly, but they are made.

edit: I was just reading my post, sorry I wasnt too helpful, someone will chime in with more info as to where to find everything.

I like Eheim pumps. I have have several and they never fail, push lots of water , and are quiet. For the smallest system why not skip the res and just make an inline system. As for the rad it depends on what case you are working with. I have had good luck with the Dangerden Cube as well as some larger rads that take 2 120mm fans side by side.

Well if you look at my sig you can see the case i use:D I have 4 hard drives, 2 cd drives a floppy and not much more room! I do not want a bigger case either. I moved the 2 cd drives down to the 2nd and 3rd spots leaving the top one empty ( for the radiator)! I want to put the res/pump under the hard drives. With the enheim you need a seperate plug though right? I really want a pump that will run off of my PSU. Here is a pic of what I've got to work with.
